BUYING ADVISORY: MS - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
After his grandmother’s death, 11yo Freddie Yates discovers his biological father might be alive and living in Wales. He convinces his two friends to go off on a harebrained scheme to find his father without telling their families where they are going. Along the way, they get mixed up with an onion eating competition, super hero costumes and dangerous art thieves.
There is a lot of humor that makes this quest fun. Freddie, Ben, and Charlie make good foils for each other and the settings are delightful. I loved the ending, even though it seemed wrapped with a bow, because the super miraculous journey does seem to deliver on the miracles. A quirky, upbeat read that makes you value family and friends.
