P.T. Wilkie lives in his grandpa’s motel and he loves it! It
has free ice cream, poolside service, and fun attractions that should rival
Disneyland. Unfortunately, his grandpa doesn’t have many paying customers. When
he finds out his grandpa has to pay a bank loan of $100,000 off in 30 days or
the Wilkie family will lose their home, P.T. decides to come up with his most
hair-brained scheme yet to save Wonderland Motel. Will he succeed?
The illustrations are detailed and humorous. The plot is
engaging and pulls the readers into P.T.’s world with ease. The characters are
unique, but believable as kids. Together, the two make a hilarious masterpiece
worth reading. Fans of Diary of Wimpy Kid, Dork Diaries, and Strange Case of
Origami Yoda, or other humorous realistic fiction will enjoy reading this book.
