The world's smartest people can't stop laughing. Is this the work of the crazy criminal Dr. Chuckles? Only Secret Agent Dingledorf (the country's greatest agent, even though he is just ten years old) can find out.

Together, with super cool inventions (that always backfire), major mix-ups (that become major mishaps), and the help of Splat the Wonder-dud, er, Wonderdog, our hero winds up saving the day...while discovering the importance of respecting and loving others.

About the author

Bill Myers was born into a Christian home, and although as a child he became bored with Christianity, he decided at the University of Washington quote, to "make God my boss." Ironically, at the University his worst subject was writing. He claims to have prayed, and said that he would be able to do anything for God, except write. Even so, he has become a prominent Christian writer, and has a large amount of successful books and films to his credit.

Reviews

[Katie]

This children's book is very funny and creative. Dingledorf is an older elementary student that gets mistaken for a secret agent. He must work with secret agent gadgets, as well as his trusty dog Splat, to save the world before everyone is influenced by Dr. Chuckles and overtaken with uncontrollable laughter. This book also teaches a good life lesson and biblical truths in a way children can understand.
