Bladek, John Roll Up the Streets 213 pgs. Kane Miller, 2010. $15.99.
LANGUAGE – PG; Sexual Content – G; Violence – PG (Brief skirmishes).
Jake Matchet moves to a new town, and stumbles across a mystery. Along with his new friend, Sammie, Jake seeks to find the source behind the puzzling smell permeating throughout the town, the citizens’ obsession with corndogs, and what the “Golden Idol” really is.
This is a fun book that, although a bit unbelievable, it is witty enough to keep readers entertained. I especially like the use of funny footnotes and Jake’s many sarcastic comments (although they may cause confusion for younger reader who may not pick up on it).
