A review by marie6
Horton Halfpott; or, The Fiendish Mystery of Smugwick Manor; or, The Loosening of M'Lady Luggertuck's Corset by Tom Angleberger

2.0

Summer Kidlets Preread... Nothing especially wrong with it, but I doubt it will be as huge a hit with any of them as some other Angleberger books have been. I, personally, found most of the 4th wall comments a bit tedious... and at times heavy handed. I can't imagine embracing the series, but will honestly allow any of the kids interested to read it (well, the 1st grade twins might need audio versions or to just wait and thus have fewer vocabulary questions).
