Apologies for missing a couple of months! You know when life takes over? And then nothing else gets done? That's been my life. I think that's been many people's lives. My mother-in-law fell, was in the hospital, had surgery, is in rehab now and we're waiting to transfer her to a care home. Then throw on the pandemic, stress, depression - keeps motivation at a very low level. Plus, I've been reading so slowly! Yikes. But I'm here now. She's up, she's waving, she's okay. (It's a racing term, I think, I got it from my husband.)
Now onto more exciting things: the book! MONDAY INTO THE CAVE OF THIEVES (TOTAL MAYHEM #1) "created by Ralph Lazar & lovingly pummeled into shape by Lisa Swerling" - I swear that's what it says. 😃
From the Publisher: Scholastic
For Dash Candoo, every day is... DANGEROUS!
There is no such thing as a boring day for Dash Candoo.
On Monday, before he can even enjoy his cereal and wombat juice, he is attacked by a squad of combat-ready scallywags and the two-tailed Devil Cat.
And that is just before breakfast. The adventure explodes when Dash gets to school and must deal with a number of Total Mayhem Situations, including a missing Wobble-Ball trophy and the disappearance of one of the most expensive bottles of perfume in the world.
This is a lower middle grade book. Very imaginative, lots of fun made up words and characters. The beginning has, things you need to know before you read this book, and the ending has, everything you need to know, in a glossary. In between these two things is a jam-packed action story with a secret tunnel, Drones, Grobsnots, Wrestle-Scallywags, and a Devil-Cat. Do I even need to say anymore?! 😊
