3 Below by Patrick Carman - ADVISABLE


 Carman, Patrick 3 Below (Floors 2), 240 p. Scholastic Press, 2012.  $17.  Content: G (danger and excitement).  

Welcome back to the Whippet Hotel.  I hope you are ready for a bumpy ride!  The Whippet is in trouble.  Leo’s dad and Remi’s mom are off on their honeymoon, when the hotel is thrown into crisis – pay $7 million in back taxes or lose the whole building to a tax sale.  The solution will involve Betty, the duck, four Floogers, a monkey tail zip line, THE iron box and Dr. Flart.  Leo and Remi must venture into the sub-basements of the Whippet, where even more wonderful strangeness awaits them!  

Carman’s fantastic world may follow its own rules, but no on ewill get lost along the way.  Sit back and enjoy the zaniness!
