Synopsis

In serious need of a vacation after their last laser-beam-filled exploit, Lily, Jasper, and Katie have dashed off in their Gyroscopic Sky Suite for a restful sojourn at the Moose Tongue Lodge and Resort, a stunning spot filled with roaring fires, Cocoa Splurges, and many fine displays of taxidermy.
But in a bizarre turn of events, a number of other children’s book heroes also happen to be unwinding at the vintage mountain retreat, including the dim but well-built Manley Boys, the boy-crazy Cutesy Dell Twins, and Eddie Wax from the little-known classic Stumpy Rides to Glory. And then there are the adorable mystery-solving Hooper Quints, who, along with a wealthy heiress’s priceless diamond necklace and numerous mounted animal heads, have suddenly gone missing.
Meaningless coincidence? Or could it all be part of a nefarious plot involving duct tape, some Bavarian folk pants, and a slew of counterfeit dinner coupons? Tough to say, but one thing’s for sure: Katie, Lily, and Jasper are the only swell youngsters around who can solve this spine-tingling mystery

Goodreads review by Stef on September 25, 2018

This book was genuinely funny in places and silly or even a bit sad in others. It managed not to be offensive or rely on stereotypes (except in so far as it could make fun of said stereotypes).

Goodreads review by Brigid on September 11, 2015

The back copy of "The Clue of the Linoleum Lederhosen" by M. T. Anderson has 100% no bearing on the actual content of the book... one of the little quirks that makes the series so much fun. Wanting a bit of rest and relaxation after the action (and laser) filled events of "Whales on Stilts," Katie, L......more

Goodreads review by Catherine on April 23, 2008

What a goof-off. It was a fun read, v. Snicket and his imitators. Let me get this off my chest though. I'll be glad when narrators go back to leaving the fourth wall intact and cease with all the melodramatic pronouncements on their writing...it's time for a fresh approach. That aside, I did like th......more

Goodreads review by Matthew on October 10, 2007

This may be the most surreal children's book I've ever read. Three heroes of old (and mostly forgotten) children's books go on vacation only to discover that they have been tricked by the promise of fake free dinner coupons. There's also a missing diamond and a missing set of singing quintuplets. An......more

Goodreads review by Rose on October 01, 2008

This book is pretty much cerebral metafiction, but sometimes you're in the mood for just that. As someone scarred by the discovery at the tender age of 8 that Carolyn Keene was not a real person but just a syndicate, i really got the humor in this book. And who could resist picking up something with......more
