ABOUT THE BOOK

Life at Pordunce is back to normal - well, as normal as ever in the three-ring circus that passes for Hashbrown's elementary school. But everything changes when a ghostly presence starts roaming the halls. And even worse, Hashbrown's club may be about to lose one of its founding members. Can Hashbrown save the day? This snort-worthy, fun-filled roller-coaster ride of a book is guaranteed to get you giggling - assuming you can pry it away from your kids long enough to read it yourself.

REVIEW

Hashbrown has done it again. He's gotten himself involved in strange events this time thanks to the blackmail of Twinkles the strange man who lives in the basement of Pordunce Elementary.  With six stinkbombs set to go off if he doesn't rescue Twinkles pet hamsters, Hashbrown must discover what happened to the hamsters and why there seems to suddenly be a ghost running around the school scaring people.  At the same time he must deal with losing his marble championchip to a new girl and her strange little brother. Like the other books in the series this one is just as wacky and just as entertaining.  This series has really started to grow on me now that I'm adjusting to the weirdness that is Pordunce Elementary.  Hashbrown seems like a pretty normal kid with a few extra issues thrown in just for fun. ;) Recommended for those who enjoy wacky humor and adventure.  These stories move along quickly and would make good reads for reluctant readers.
