Description
In New York City, JD discovers Bertie, who is rich and spends his days sitting on his butt, which is the body part that makes them "cousins." But Frankenstein's daughter has also arrived and has enlisted the help of the Invisible Man.
Quick Summary
Imagine Frankenstein's daughter showing up in New York City with The Invisible Man as her sidekick, while a regular kid named JD finds an unlikely friend in a wealthy man who never leaves his couch. Kids will giggle at the ridiculous premise and root for the odd-couple friendship that forms between JD and Bertie, the couch-bound cousin who shares a very specific body part in common. If your kid loves the goofy humor and mystery elements of Captain Underpants and the Terrifying Return of Tippy Tinkletrousers or Diary of Sarah Gillespie: A Pioneer Farm Girl (First-Person Histories) a Wimpy Kid, they'll absolutely devour this wild NYC adventure. Perfect for kids in grades 4-6 who enjoy silly, fast-paced reads with a mystery twist.
