The Cheesemans are a family on the run. Mr. Cheeseman and his late wife
invented a device so powerful and amazing that all sorts of evildoers
want to get their greedy hands on it. Mr. Cheeseman and his three
children must keep their identities secret and stay one step ahead of
the villains as they run from town to town, escape dangerous situations,
even change their names. Luckily, though they may not have the names
they were born with, they do have their smarts -- and quite a bit of
good luck. They'll soon encounter a bunch of unusual but helpful
characters, some of whom are really far more than they appear to be. The
first of these characters is Dr. Cuthbert Soup. He not only runs the
National Center for Unsolicited Advice, he also serves as narrator for
this madcap adventure story, offering a word or two of wisdom from time
to time. Sometimes, Dr. Soup even has four words -- like now: Listen to
