Wendy Mass is the author of thirty novels for young people, including A Mango-Shaped Space, which was awarded the Schneider Family Book Award, Leap Day, the Twice Upon a Time fairy tale series, Jeremy Fink and the Meaning of Life, Heaven Looks a Lot Like the Mall, the Willow Falls, Space Taxi and Candymakers series. Wendy wrote the storyline for an episode of the television show Monk, entitled "Mr. Monk Goes to the Theatre," which aired during the show's second season. She tells people her hobbies are hiking and photography, but really they're collecting candy bar wrappers and searching for buried treasure with her metal detector. Wendy lives with her family in New Jersey.
116 pages. The adventures continue with Dad, Archie and Pockets. They use disguises as they travel to save a princess. Things get a little strange on this trip but it is an interesting plot. Kids will love it. I am liking Pockets more and more as the story goes along. What a cool character! Highly recommended for Grades 4-5.
