Description
About the Book
Twelve-year-old Rob has stuffed his closet with old laboratory experiments, unread books, and more, and when a creature emerges from that chaos causing a great deal of trouble, Rob has to do such horrible things as visit a library and speak at a school assembly to set things right again.Book Synopsis
Twelve-year-old underachiever Rob has better things to do than read. His parents give him lots of books, but most of them just end up in the messy pile of junk he keeps locked in his closet (that once doubled as a makeshift science laboratory). One day, Rob hears weird sounds coming from behind his closet door and discovers a funny little creature that seems to be a cross between two characters from books he's tried to ignore. He names him Wonkenstein.
Keeping track of "Wonk" is hard work. But with help from friends and a little off-the-wall magic, Rob and Wonkenstein's crazy adventures set the stage for great laughs . . . and Rob might even read some good books along the way.Review Quotes

"[A] highly amusing new series starter." --Booklist "The idea of a hybrid Willy Wonka/Frankenstein character is original and hilarious." --School Library Journal "Comfy antics for readers who don't probably much like reading." --Kirkus ReviewsAbout the Author

Book is fun, with the right balance between drawings and story to encourage kids to read more text heavy books, since it still feels like a picture book. My 7 year old keeps it in bed to re-read, and even our 4 year old gets tickled by the silly artwork.
