Eddie finds himself at a mysterious new dentist's office in town. Even though his teeth aren't hurting, he winds up getting three of them yanked by dodgy Dr. Yankum. On picture day at school, he notices that many of his fellow fifth graders are missing teeth as well. As Eddie digs deeper, he discovers that there could be something sinister going on.
Anything to do with yanking teeth makes me a bit queasy. While it's an easy read, the plot seemed fairly predictable. Of course, Eddie and his friend are going to try and figure out Dr. Yankum on their own and not involve adults. The ending was a bit of a twist, but made my teeth hurt. No culture or race is mentioned, the characters default white.
