Carman, Patrick Floors, 272 p. Scholastic, 2011. $17. Content: G. Leo Fillmore lives in the world’s most fabulous hotel. The Whippet has exotic rooms (some a little scary, some dangerous, some just yummy)and secret floors. But, Mr. Whippet has disappeared and his mean, angry manager has taken control. Leo is afraid that she means to sell the hotel, which would put Leo and his janitor father out on their ears. But then Leo discovers a mysterious box. If her can follow the clues and solve the puzzles, more than just the answer to a mystery may await him. I thoroughly enjoyed Carman’s wacky world! The puzzles were just silly enough, the danger just palpable enough. SO much fun! EL, MS – ESSENTIAL. Cindy, Library Teacher
by Patrick Carman (Author) If Lemony Snicket rebooted the Goosebumps franchise, you'd have something close to Bonkers: the quirky, creepy, hilarious new series from #1 New York Times bestselling author Patrick Carman. Barker Mifflin never leaves home without his go bag, his army boots, and his trusty flyswatter. As the town of Nevermind's resident eleven-year-old survivalist, Barker knows catastrophe can strike anytime, anywhere. But now that school is out for the summer, he might be able to let his guard down. After all, he and his friends all got jobs picking strawberries at McFadden Farm. What could possibly go wrong? Turns out: everything. Things get weird from day one when Barker meets Supreme Commander McJerry--a teenage crew boss who loves making kids miserable--and his younger sister Megan, a kid with more secrets than an international superspy. And the terror in Jenny's armpit seems downright normal compared to what's hidden in the barn! Join Barker Mifflin as he pieces together a forty-foot-tall mystery that could crush the whole town of Nevermind. No amount of training could prepare anyone to survive THIS! Number of Pages: 244 Dimensions: 1 x 7.5 x 5.1 IN

In this interview, author Patrick Carman discusses how growing up on oddball comedies helped inspire his new children’s novel, Bonkers: The Terror in Jenny’s Armpit.
I first applauded Patrick Carman for his unique concept book Skeleton Creek, where he tied 21st Century literacy to good old-fashioned storytelling. I am excited to say that Mr. Carman has done it again with Trackers, a cyber-mystery with gaming and internet components to complement the story of four tech-savvy teens thrown into a web of treachery. Adam, Finn, Emily and Lewis are cyber-sleuth teen geeks. Their goal? Solve local mysteries with their keen tech-skills. What seems a nice little community service adventure leads them into dangerous, and more global, circumstances. The text structure of Trackers involves ringleader Adam being interrogated by a government agent, as he recounts the adventure in past tense. As with many first in a series books, the character development is minimal as we set the plot in motion. This editorial decision sometimes leads readers to want to learn more and invest in a continuing series, but can also throw those who need character development. However, as with Skeleton Creek, I suspect some reviews will miss the target audience and complain that Trackers is thin or that the computer enhancements detract from the telling. I do not believe that this decision was unintentional. If one reads Mr. Carman's fabulous Land of Elyon or Atherton stories, one can see that he does a fine job developing both character and story. The format of Trackers and Skeleton Creek, is an intended one and those of us who work with struggling readers love Mr. Carman for it. Patrick Carman has created a new genre in story telling, allowing readers who might otherwise close a book before the second chapter access to the joys of reading. Trackers is recommended for ages 9-12, male readers and especially striving readers in grades 5-8. -------------------- Teaching Resources -------------------- Genre: Cyber-Mystery. Age: 9-12. Pages: 224. Publisher: Scholastic. Date: May 11, 2010. ISBN: 0545165008. Thank You to Mr. Patrick Carman for my advanced copy. BUY Trackers HERE! Find the book website HERE! Here's a clip of Mr. Carman discussing the book: And here's a book trailer: Patrick Carmen became a writer after making up bedtime stories for his young daughters.
