This story is totally exaggerated and in places not particularly truly believable. BUT ... isn't that part of the fun of reading?

I listened to it while I was running (OK, and walking) on the treadmill at the gym so I can't stop and jot down all the funny lines about super ninja librarians and gumshoe detectives.

I also took this book around to a couple different fourth and fifth grade classes and read the scene aloud where Steve goes to check out his library book.

I PROMISE YOU ... you've never read such a cliffhanger book checkout scene. The waiting list for this book is now a mile long.
