    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;After their last laser-beam-filled adventure, Lily, Jasper, and Katie have flown off for a restful stay at a distant mountain lodge. What a coincidence when they find the lodge teeming with characters from other middle-grade series novels, including the dashing Manley Boys and the boy-crazy Cutesy Dell twins. And when the Hooper Quints go missing, it looks like their vacation is over. Could this all be part of a nefarious plot involving duct tape and Bavarian folk pants? Katie, Jasper, and Lily might be the only ones around who have the chops to solve this challenging mystery!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;<em>     Includes a teaser to the next book in the series,</em> Jasper Dash and the Flame-Pits of Delaware<em>.</em>&lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;In need of a vacation after their last laser-beam-filled adventure, Lily, Jasper, and Katie have flown off for a restful stay at a distant mountain lodge, which just so happens to be hosting a gathering for characters from other middle-grade series novels. Two--the marvelous Manley Boys--look suspiciously like a pair of crime-solving brothers named Frank and Joe Hardy. Two others are a pair of boy-crazy twin sisters who attend a high school in some sweet valley somewhere. And then there are the Hooper Quints, who, along with a wealthy heiress's priceless diamond necklace, have suddenly gone missing. <br/><br/>Does it surprise you that the supposedly &quot;on vacation&quot; Katie, Jasper, and Lily are the only ones around who have the chops to solve this challenging mystery? <br/><br/>National Book Award finalist M. T. Anderson has done it again with this second volume of his riotous and wonderfully weird new series.<br/>&lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;After their last laser-beam-filled adventure, Lily, Jasper, and Katie have flown off for a restful stay at a distant mountain lodge. What a coincidence when they find the lodge teeming with characters from other middle-grade series novels, including the dashing Manley Boys and the boy-crazy Cutesy Dell twins. And when the Hooper Quints go missing, it looks like their vacation is over. Could this all be part of a nefarious plot involving duct tape and Bavarian folk pants? Katie, Jasper, and Lily might be the only ones around who have the chops to solve this challenging mystery!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;<em>     Includes a teaser to the next book in the series,</em> Jasper Dash and the Flame-Pits of Delaware<em>.</em>&lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <body><![CDATA[This series is so ridiculous and I love it (which is odd because I haven't been able to get into any of Anderson's YA books as much).  This one is my favorite of the two because it pokes fun at all the classic kids series, like Nancy Drew, Hardy Boys, Goosebumps, and more.  Very silly.  ]]></body>

    <![CDATA[In serious need of a vacation after their last laser-beam-filled exploit, Lily, Jasper, and Katie have dashed off in their Gyroscopic Sky Suite for a restful sojourn at the Moose Tongue Lodge and Resort, a stunning spot filled with roaring fires, Cocoa Splurges, and many fine displays of taxidermy. <br/>But in a bizarre turn of events, a number of other children&#8217;s book heroes also happen to be unwinding at the vintage mountain retreat, including the dim but well-built Manley Boys, the boy-crazy Cutesy Dell Twins, and Eddie Wax from the little-known classic <em>Stumpy Rides to Glory</em>. And then there are the adorable mystery-solving Hooper Quints, who, along with a wealthy heiress&#8217;s priceless diamond necklace and numerous mounted animal heads, have suddenly gone missing. <br/>Meaningless coincidence? Or could it all be part of a nefarious plot involving duct tape, some Bavarian folk pants, and a slew of counterfeit dinner coupons? Tough to say, but one thing&#8217;s for sure: Katie, Lily, and Jasper are the only swell youngsters around who can solve <em>this</em> spine-tingling mystery]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;In need of a vacation after their last laser-beam-filled adventure, Lily, Jasper, and Katie have flown off for a restful stay at a distant mountain lodge, which just so happens to be hosting a gathering for characters from other middle-grade series novels. Two--the marvelous Manley Boys--look suspiciously like a pair of crime-solving brothers named Frank and Joe Hardy. Two others are a pair of boy-crazy twin sisters who attend a high school in some sweet valley somewhere. And then there are the Hooper Quints, who, along with a wealthy heiress's priceless diamond necklace, have suddenly gone missing. <br/><br/>Does it surprise you that the supposedly &quot;on vacation&quot; Katie, Jasper, and Lily are the only ones around who have the chops to solve this challenging mystery? <br/><br/>National Book Award finalist M. T. Anderson has done it again with this second volume of his riotous and wonderfully weird new series.<br/>&lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <body><![CDATA[M.T. Anderson tries to get his Lemony Snicket on, sort of.  Not as successful, in my opinion.  It's kind of a charming idea, this concept of a reality in which archetypical kidlit series types interact in a mystery/parody.  And there is fun in there, but it oscillates between high concept and cheap,...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4031384">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[In serious need of a vacation after their last laser-beam-filled exploit, Lily, Jasper, and Katie have dashed off in their Gyroscopic Sky Suite for a restful sojourn at the Moose Tongue Lodge and Resort, a stunning spot filled with roaring fires, Cocoa Splurges, and many fine displays of taxidermy. <br/>But in a bizarre turn of events, a number of other children&#8217;s book heroes also happen to be unwinding at the vintage mountain retreat, including the dim but well-built Manley Boys, the boy-crazy Cutesy Dell Twins, and Eddie Wax from the little-known classic <em>Stumpy Rides to Glory</em>. And then there are the adorable mystery-solving Hooper Quints, who, along with a wealthy heiress&#8217;s priceless diamond necklace and numerous mounted animal heads, have suddenly gone missing. <br/>Meaningless coincidence? Or could it all be part of a nefarious plot involving duct tape, some Bavarian folk pants, and a slew of counterfeit dinner coupons? Tough to say, but one thing&#8217;s for sure: Katie, Lily, and Jasper are the only swell youngsters around who can solve <em>this</em> spine-tingling mystery]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;In need of a vacation after their last laser-beam-filled adventure, Lily, Jasper, and Katie have flown off for a restful stay at a distant mountain lodge, which just so happens to be hosting a gathering for characters from other middle-grade series novels. Two--the marvelous Manley Boys--look suspiciously like a pair of crime-solving brothers named Frank and Joe Hardy. Two others are a pair of boy-crazy twin sisters who attend a high school in some sweet valley somewhere. And then there are the Hooper Quints, who, along with a wealthy heiress's priceless diamond necklace, have suddenly gone missing. <br/><br/>Does it surprise you that the supposedly &quot;on vacation&quot; Katie, Jasper, and Lily are the only ones around who have the chops to solve this challenging mystery? <br/><br/>National Book Award finalist M. T. Anderson has done it again with this second volume of his riotous and wonderfully weird new series.<br/>&lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;In need of a vacation after their last laser-beam-filled adventure, Lily, Jasper, and Katie have flown off for a restful stay at a distant mountain lodge, which just so happens to be hosting a gathering for characters from other middle-grade series novels. Two--the marvelous Manley Boys--look suspiciously like a pair of crime-solving brothers named Frank and Joe Hardy. Two others are a pair of boy-crazy twin sisters who attend a high school in some sweet valley somewhere. And then there are the Hooper Quints, who, along with a wealthy heiress's priceless diamond necklace, have suddenly gone missing. <br/><br/>Does it surprise you that the supposedly &quot;on vacation&quot; Katie, Jasper, and Lily are the only ones around who have the chops to solve this challenging mystery? <br/><br/>National Book Award finalist M. T. Anderson has done it again with this second volume of his riotous and wonderfully weird new series.<br/>&lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <body><![CDATA[A great parody of serial series (Hardy Boys, Bobsey Twins etc)in which three kids solve a mystery that does indeed include lederhosen.  While a lot of kids wouldn't get all the jokes they would probably still be entertained by the goofy story.  This is a sequel to Whales on Stilts, which is, surpris...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/292332">more...</a>]]></body>
