What We Found in the Sofa and How it Saved the World by Henry Clark
3.0
Three sometime friends, a discarded sofa and a zucchini green crayon are the subjects of a story chock full of adventures including alien invasions, a talking domino and an ax-bearing hologram granny. The adventures and antics of Freak, Fiona and River are so numerous to summarize here.
I felt at times the plot of the story was blurred by the outlandish twists and turns. There were some things introduced (such as the hologram granny) that didn't serve a purpose to move the plot along and became a distraction. I can see the appeal of this novel to the mid-grade level students (I think they would love it) but it was a little too chaotic for my taste.
