Remi and Leo's parents get married on the roof of the Whippet Hotel, and Merganzer Whippet show up to send them off on a honeymoon, conveniently leaving the boys alone to solve the current problem-- the hotel owes $700,000 in back taxes. Not a problem, as long as the boys are willing to undertake a dangerous journey to the sub floors of the hotel to retrieve four floogers, a zip rope, and the iron box. Since Ms. Sparks has returned with the grungy Mr. Carp and demanded the payment lest she herse...more

Please don't read this review if you haven't read the first book, Floors. There are some unavoidable spoilers for it that I don't want to inadvertently force on someone reading this!
3 Below is just like Floors, except with more craziness, less of a storyline, and a big bang ending that mostly makes sense, but tries too hard to throw you for a big a loop as the last one did.
Anyone from the age of eight (or even some very smart kids younger than that) will like this book, but I can't really see ad...more

After having so many less than stellar reads, this book was a relief. I can always count on Patrick Carmen to bring me a wonderful story with vibrant characters.
To be honest, I am unsure if I have read the first Floors but that didn't prevent me from enjoying this story. I felt connected to the characters and their tale as if I had just finished the first book.

I found this a very fun book. This type of book would appeal to fans of Percy Jackson, The 39 Clues, and even those fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. The craziness of this hotel and its owners is something that every kid would enjoy. I found kids could relate to this easily especially because the boys are left in charge of the hotel after their parents get married. Unfortunately nothing goes right for them as soon as they are in charge. I found the character lively and engaging including the...more

The Whippet Hotel is now under the ownership of young Leo Fillmore. Mr. Whippet passed his hotel to Leo, but failed to take care of some business. The hotel owes back taxes! Leo and Remy need to travel through undiscovered floors to find the money needed to pay the taxes or the hotel will be put up for auction.
Carman's second Floors novel continues where book ones ends. The characters remained strong and the new characters add extra flavor to the story. The new floors that Leo and Remy discovere...more

Fantastic, creative, wonderfully descriptive and suspenseful!!! Leo and his friend Remi manage the wacky Whippet Hotel. The hotel, with its many floors of great fun, also contains mystery floors that Leo and Remi have not yet discovered. When Merganzer Whippet, the owner of the Whippet Hotel, discovers that the Whippet Hotel is dangerously in debt because "taxes have not been paid," he enlists the help of Leo & Remi to help "save the hotel." He gives them a list of items they must find and p...more
Leo and Remi avert another disaster for the Whippet Hotel, it is woefully in debt to the city and an anxious buyer wants to claim the Whippet at auction to doze it for a building that will make a lot of money. Leo and Remi are sent on another scavenger hunt through the fantastic world of the Whippet Hotel to save it from destruction. More wacky characters and stuff are unveiled in levels below the Whippet heretofore unknown to Leo and Remi. It's an addicting series for its wackiness in spaces, p...more
This falls into that "mysterious and weird things happen to kids" genre: the previous book sets up this one, where Leo is now the owner of the Whippet Hotel, an odder-than-normal hotel in New York. Odder than normal means that there are floors that don't appear where one would assume they do, the ducks on the roof have their own elevator, there's a double helix elevator, a puzzle room and many other wonders.

This sequel to Floors is set a year after Leo has been made owner of the Whippet hotel. He and Remi, who is now his brother since Leo's dad married Remi's mom, have another zany adventure, this time to save the hotel by paying it's back taxes. Ms. Sparks is the evil villianess and the Yancy family is back. Leo and Remy discover many more of the hotel's incredible secrets in the sub basement. Monkeys, gears, Flart and Floogers and more abound in this fantastically fun fantasy!
The second book in the Floors series packs just as much excitement in it as the first! Leo and Remi are left, once again, to save the Whippet Hotel from the clutches of the evil Ms.Sparks who can't wait to tear the building down once the boys fail to pay the taxes owed on the property. This time the boys explore the basement floors in the hotel,but just because they are below ground doesn't mean they aren't just as exciting as the crazy rooms in which guests in the Whippet get to reside.

This series is a great middle grade read for kids who love adventure, humor, zany characters and wacky inventions. I'm reading the first book to a 4th grade class I volunteer with and can't wait to start this one with them. Patrick Carman knows how to deliver great children's stories all ages can enjoy. My only complaint is that I wished it had been a little longer.

This is an amazing book! A continuation of the wacky, zany world of Merganzer D. Whippet, and new brothers Leo and Remi. An old nemesis is attempting to overtake the Whippet hotel and the boys must save it from her evil clutches.
They encounter all sorts of crazy things, new floors of the hotel, subbasements and new people while on their quest. (The monkeys are the best)

Really enjoyed this continuation of the amazing Whippet Hotel. I like the characterizations, particularly of Leo and Remi, but the main attraction is the hotel and its curious series of rooms, passages, and outlandish characters.
It is such an incredible pleasure to return to the wacky world of the Whippet Hotel and it’s employees. 3 Below by Patrick Carman is the second book in the Floors series, but it is just as enjoyable as the first book, plus if you have not read the first book, it is not all that hard to follow, although I totally recommend you read Floors as well. Here’s the thing, if you are a kid or a grown up looking to re-capture that feeling of magic in a mostly ordinary world, you know the same feeling you...more
This is the second book and I quite enjoyed the action and adventure. Lots of fun and thrilling things going on in this hotel!A very easy read that keeps you reading until you finish.
Whimsical, creative, fun; my daughter LOVED it! Continuing in the fashion of Floors, this book is reminiscent of Charlie & the Chocolate Factory with a hotel instead. We had a great time following Leo, Remi, and even Blop through another set of crazy adventures in their quest to save the Whippet Hotel from Ms. Sparks.
I didn't enjoy this one quite as much as the first book, but it did have some amusing points to it. And of course it was fun to explore more of the Whippet Hotel.
A great sequel to floors! Leo and Remi find themselves over their heads in adventures once again orchestrated by Merganzer Whippet. Laugh out loud at the results of guzzling a Flart's Fizz. My teenager was giggling through the entire book. Loved it. Can't wait for more! But apparently this one just came out a couple months ago so it looks like I'll just have to wait...
A fun, fast paced second story in the Floors series! Just as fun and wild as the first. Easy to read and lots of fun! Ready for the next one already!
not as good as book 1 because at the ending wasn't clear. but it was fun because they were racing against time.
Just as many wacky inventions as the first book, and an unexpected (kind of, in this series you pretty much expect twists at every turn) twist at the end. Can't wait for the finale.
Cute - not as good as the first one, but will be a fun series
Wonderful. Delightful. Such a spark for the imagination.
Good and easy read lovable and creative. would love to see this made into a movie.
Reminds me of the wackiness if Willy Wonka
