His other book 'The Curious Incident of the Dog' topped the best seller lists for ages while this wonderful book was out of print. I cannot understand it!

I loved this book! It was entertaining and fun. This book was written for a younger audience, but I enjoyed it and I am not a kid.

Hilarious! I had no idea these books even existed until I read the preface to Boom (also by Mark Haddon) where the author mentions several other children's books that he wrote. I went hunting for them, and even though I had to order this one from the UK it was worth it (Amazon Marketplace $3.99 postage from anywhere - gotta love it). Ben, Jenks, and Barney plan to outsmart a new neighbor and get more than the bargained for.
