A little dated and unexciting. Nowhere near the standard of his Treehouse books.

One of my childhood reads, although I got it later than the other JUST books.
I love how so many of these stories I start and then immediately remember the twists and general plots of despite it possibly being a decade or more since I last read this.

I read this book to my children and they really loved the hillarious predicaments that Andy gets himself into. I will most definitely be reading more of his books to them.
