I like this one better than the first. It’s so funny! All of us were laughing! Mercy is funny and the circumstances are entertaining. There were some things we thought were oversights, but then they were addressed and explained. This also will make your kids want to wear their seatbelts! Haha. I’m glad we really this and will be reading the rest of the series and all the Deckawoo Drive books!

The premise, like much of DiCamillo's work, is absurd. And that's what makes this adventure hilarious and delightful.

Even better than the opening instalment to this series. I love a children's writer who is not afraid of language... "The car screeched, the car shuddered, the car careened, the car caromed. And finally the car stopped." This reminds me of [a:Lynley Dodd|142116|Lynley Dodd|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1567742014p2/142116.jpg] and the [b:Hairy Maclary Story Collection|1153726|Hairy Maclary Story Collection (Puffin Audiobooks)|Lynley Dodd|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1181443106l/1153726._SX50_.jpg|7724501], who also uses language for fun and doesn't shy away from challenging words for younger readers.

One of the best aspects of the Mercy Watson books are the illustrations and the clipped sentences. The combination makes these books hilarious! In one scene, where Mercy is happily driving the convertible, we read a sentence about Mr. Watson not being able to feel his legs from the pig on his lap. This is the stuff of out loud laughs in childrens books!
