Review
Yet another Dirkle Smat adventure that your kids are going to love. Lynn Garthwaite always delivers a fun, adventurous, outrageous book with this Dirkle Smat series.

As with her other books the characters have silly names, they have unbelievable inventions, and their adventures are too much fun.

The book is fairly short, divided into chapters and great for the younger reader. It's also cute without being cutesy, so parents will enjoy reading it to young children.

So far Garthwaite hasn't disappointed and this series gets a 5 out of 5 from me.
