Freddy and the Fries are back with another fun story. This time, there is a science contest and Freddy is confident that he can win. The town bully coerces the other smart kid into being his partner and that's where the adventure literally takes off.
This one is especially fun for me since the town's librarian plays a significant role!

Second Freddy & the French Fried book (and the last by the look of it) in this short series by thriller writer Baldacci, who has tried his hand at writing for young people.
This one was not that great, and as usual with Baldacci, went a bit long.
Not the greatest of his works, and even if you are aimed at the young it still needs some quality.

freddy and the fries is about a boy named freddy and his friends the fries. they go on all sorts of adventures. this book is by david baldacci. the fries build a time machine to stop a volcano from destroying the burger castle. my oppion on the story is the story was a great story because when the fries build the time machine they get into alot of trouble. i would recommend this to my freind bryce because he likes to read mysteries.

Freddy is a boy who is very brilliant when it comes to ideas. If you love Cloudy with a chance of meatballs, you would also love this book.
People who loves reading and onto kid's novel would surely love this book. It would not just fascinate you with the different inventions mentioned in the book, but you would also be fascinated by the way the characters think.
