What We Found in the Sofa and How it Saved the World by Henry Clark
4.0
The sofa wasn't there on Monday but it was there on Tuesday.
This was weird, but in the best way. It has so many similar vibes to all those weird-but-wonderful middle-grade books, like [b:Science Fair|2927626|Science Fair|Dave Barry|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1441641180l/2927626._SY75_.jpg|2944560], [b:Fortunately, the Milk|17349203|Fortunately, the Milk|Neil Gaiman|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1380963103l/17349203._SY75_.jpg|23686035], and [b:The Mysterious Benedict Society|40605329|The Mysterious Benedict Society (The Mysterious Benedict Society, #1)|Trenton Lee Stewart|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1529611235l/40605329._SY75_.jpg|80497]. River, Freak, and Fiona are such a fun trio, Alf is hilarious, and the sofa is truly iconic. I think I would've enjoyed it more if I'd read it when I was younger, but it was still a ton of fun.
4 stars from me.
