LOL, I love these books! I don't think you necessarily have to have read the first two in the series (Whales on Stilts! and The Clue of the Linoleum Lederhosen), but I do think you need to have read #3, the book immediately prior to this one (Jasper Dash and the Flame-Pits of Delaware). Otherwise, you will be lost as to why three children need to escape the exciting (but repressive) state of Delaware. Um, if we ever go to Delaware, my kids are going to be highly disappointed in its mundane reali...more
The Pals in Peril series are hilarious! If you can get a copy of the audio version to listen to, it really adds to the experience of the book. Marc Cashman's various character voices are great and actually gave me an idea how to pronounce some of the names which are missing vowels. Even if you haven't read Whales on Stilts! or The Clue of the Linoleum Lederhosen, it is crucial that you read book three: Jasper Dash and the Flame-Pits of Delaware. That sets the stage for Agent Q, or The Smell of D...more
The characters are still great and the story is very funny (don't skip the appendix!), but I'm feeling like he stretched this novel out longer than it needed to be. A little trimming here and there would have made the story a bit better. Still, it was very enjoyable. Jasper Dash is such a great character, even if he is cartoonish.
This book was really saved by the sentient lobsters. I mean, it's really hard to take a kind of KGB-infested Cold War-esque country and make it funny, so I didn't enjoy this as much as the first three books in the series, but the plot twists were well done and, you know, SENTIENT LOBSTERS.

Loved it. Who knew all the amazing adventures that a kid can have in Delaware! I'm now enjoying Whales on Stilts.

Don't you just love it when wishes in books come true?
It had a slightly slow beginning, but once they got Mrglik ambushed them it got really exciting. It was really good, but Jasper Dash and the Flame Pits of Delaware is still my favorite.
Another hilarious book from M. T. Anderson! :D
This book was very good. It was little confusing but awesome. It was in the dangerous state of Delaware. Agent Q. is a weirdo and he is also ssssssssssssssssssssuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuupppppppppppppppppppppppppeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr weird.
I was only going to give this 4 stars, but the last disc really pulled some punches. There were so many funny lines and situations in the last quarter, and I had a fabulous time listening to the story on my drives to and from work. I am going to get my hands on a copy of the book so I can post some of the more fabulous quotes.
Sentient lobsters! This is a fun series; good characters in loony situations. Only drawback is that I have been reading them out loud to my daughter, and some characters are missing vowels in their names.
Picking up whereJasper Dash and the Flame-Pits of Delaware: A Pals in Peril Tale left off, the Pals are still trying to escape the mysterious land of Delaware.
Hysterical.
This was okay, but I liked the previous one much more.
Loved it so much! Great spy book

“One of the best things about road-tripping with monks is that monks are used to repeating chants over and over and over, so they really don't mind songs like 'Ninety-nine Bottles of Beer on the Wall' or 'The Song That Never Ends.”

“When spies aren't in sewer tunnels, they're usually crawling through air ducts. I'm not sure exactly why this is. It makes you kind of wonder: Are spies just frustrated maintenance men? Is that what spies really want to be doing? Plumbing? Air conditioner repair? I fear the day that they follow their dream, lay down their laser-gun cigarette lighters, and pick up wrenches. Our country will be in great peril, though with fewer toilets backing up and more of our houses at a uniform sixty-eight degrees Fahrenheit.”
