by David Baldacci David Baldacci, a bestselling adult suspense novelist, is back with another installment of the living French fry stories that he told his children. In this installment, young Freddy Funkhouser is back in competition with the evil Spankers - this time they're vying for the science fair prize. Since the Spankers are too dim to compete honestly, they draft another junior genius to do the job for them by creating a huge working volcano model. But can the bad'uns beat Freddy's time machine? We don't think so! This book contains all of the fast-paced action of the first book, with slightly better plot and characterization. Baldacci passes on a few of the distracting pratfalls that made the first book so difficult to follow and keeps his eye on the story better here. Young boys will enjoy the "big sisters are so stupid" theme as well as the silliness of Baldacci's character names. For preteen reluctant reader boys, this will be a nice tempting treat. |
