false <![CDATA[The Order of Odd-Fish]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1206590558m/2584352.jpg 2584352 2 JO LAROUCHE HAS lived her 13 years in the California desert with her Aunt Lily, ever since she was dropped on Lily’s doorstep with this note: This is Jo. Please take care of her. But beware. This is a dangerous baby. At Lily’s annual Christmas costume party, a variety of strange events take place that lead Jo and Lily out of California forever—and into the mysterious, strange, fantastical world of Eldritch City. There, Jo learns the scandalous truth about who she is, and she and Lily join the Order of Odd-Fish, a collection of knights who research useless information. Glamorous cockroach butlers, pointless quests, obsolete weapons, and bizarre festivals fill their days, but two villains are controlling their fate. Jo is inching closer and closer to the day when her destiny is fulfilled, and no one in Eldritch City will ever be the same.

Well, it was more fun at the beginning of the story, which I particularly enjoyed. Once they got to Eldritch City, there were too many characters. Okay, basically, I wish there was more Sefino, the dandy cockroach butler. ]]> 5 2 false false Wed Mar 26 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Feb 22 14:50:37 -0800 2008 Fri Feb 22 14:50:43 -0800 2008 5 2 false false Sun Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Fri Aug 01 06:43:16 -0700 2008 Tue Jun 30 07:01:05 -0700 2009 5 2 false false Sun Aug 30 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 15 05:42:45 -0700 2008 Thu Jan 29 18:42:43 -0800 2009 5 2 false false Mon Aug 25 19:11:24 -0700 2008 Mon Aug 25 19:11:24 -0700 2008 5 2 false false Sat Sep 27 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Sep 03 16:57:51 -0700 2008 Sat Sep 27 22:03:08 -0700 2008 5 1 false false Mon Dec 29 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sun Jan 04 19:10:26 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 04 19:14:16 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 2 false false Mon Feb 18 19:55:45 -0800 2008 Mon Feb 18 19:56:51 -0800 2008 place your order now!]]> 4 1 false false Thu Apr 09 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 01 14:43:32 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 09 09:50:58 -0700 2009 1 more...]]> 4 1 false false Sun Jun 14 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 09 08:20:08 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 17 04:35:56 -0700 2009 this mind-blowingly wacky post.
