A Whole Nother Story
Ebook
Overview
Perfect for fans of The Mysterious Benedict Society and Mr. Lemoncello's Library comes a rollicking, high stakes adventure!
The three Cheeseman children, their father, and their psychic dog are all on the run. After one of Mr. Cheeseman's inventions attracts the attention of some dangerous people, his family finds themselves being chased by international super spies, top secret government agents, and a genius monkey.
Searching for safety, somewhere they can settle down and live relatively normal lives, the Cheeseman family face danger at every turn as they fight to protect not just their parents' invention, but their mother's sacred memory.
Explosive New Talent: Gerry Swallow (aka Dr. Soup) was a stand-up comedian (appearing on The Tonight Show), and a screenwriter for movies including Ice Age 2. His hilarious fresh voice, reminiscent of Lemony Snicket, is perfectly suited to children's books.
Broad Middle-Grade: With its humor, touch of the unbelievable, and quirky characters and situations, this hits the sweet spot in age level.
Surprising Twists: Name changes, cowboy poets, secret agent chimpanzees... The novel is loaded with original, kid-friendly delights.
Big Book: This was a competitive auction book that we beat out multiple houses for.
Big Series: Look for a second book-Another Whole Nother Story-in 2011.
A Whole Nother Story is just that--that rare read that keeps you smiling, laughing, and totally on your toes from cover to cover.
Filled with delightfully quirky, imaginative characters, adventure, and wonderfully playful use of lanugage, this is great for middle graders, and it's a wonderful read aloud for all ages.
A grand escapade centered around a close family of smart, helpful, likable characters who run into all sorts of oddball wanderers on the road and show plenty of inner stuff when push comes to shove...Great fun.
The storytelling, which merges deadpan narration with an absurdist sense of humor, is the real star of this fast-paced adventure.

Dr. Cuthbert Soup was born in Vienna, Austria, at the height of the Great Sausage Famine. At twenty-three he dropped out of high school and moved to New York City, where he landed a gig playing elevator music. He was soon fired, however, as his trombone kept smacking other people in the elevator. He is currently the founder and president of the National Center for Unsolicited Advice, where he has served as an unofficial advisor to CEOs and heads of state, and has given countless inspirational lectures to unsuspecting crowds. In his spare time he enjoys cajoling, sneering, and practicing the trombone in crowded areas. Dr. Soup currently resides in a semi-secret location somewhere in the United States. This is his first book.
