In the zany and humorous fourth book of National Book Award winner
M.T. Anderson's Pals in Peril series, Jasper Dash and his friends must
escape the clutches of The Awful Autarch!
Having mopped up their last crime-fighting caper, our three heroes--Lily
Gefelty, Katie Mulligan, and Jasper Dash, Boy Technonaut--are eager to
get home. But the secret police in the war-torn realm of fantasy where
the three kids are trapped (the state of Delaware) don't want them going
anywhere. Our dynamic trio knows way too much about the whereabouts of
certain fabulous treasures to escape the grip of Delaware's Ministry of
Silence. So, chums, it's a race to the border of New Jersey against
spies and government agents and double-crossers...That is, if our heroes
make it home alive!
Chock-full of ups, downs, twists, turns, a shark pit, and even a band of
sentient lobsters fighting on the side of Good, this fourth installment
of the Pals in Peril series is every bit as wild, wacky, and wonderfully
outrageous as the first three.
