Review

In the second book of The Qwikpick Papers series there is adventure, humor, and a budding romance. When the three members of the Qwikpick Adventure Society learn of a rat with a human face their fate is sealed; they must find a way to visit the dilapidated research center where the rat was seen. The storyline is wacky and inviting yet it leaves readers hanging, the wait for book three best be short. Narrator Lyle shares the tale in report form which is somewhat neatly typed, some on lined notebook paper. The entries are complete with taped in pictures, maps and handwritten notes. Though not a graphic novel this book (and series) will appeal to graphic readers as well as to those who love the Wimpy Kid Series.

Reader had the uncorrected proof of this series title.

Overall Book Score: very good
