Some people just have a knack for bringing on the snark. This book was quirky, fun, and had me cackling out loud all the way through. Annie fronts a rock band (this writing is extra spectacular for the rich understanding of the ins and outs of music, how each instrument in a group functions as part of the whole from the snare drummer dancing around the beat to the bass player being the steady—just very well done.) She’s barely making ends meet. Wes pops into her life (too bad he’s an undercover agent. Her uncle gets hooked into a plot to sabotage a parade (I nearly spit water all over the breakfast table laughing at the part about the out of rhythm ukuleles and disgruntled horses—seriously this book is SO funny in the small sentence details) and it’s up to Annie to save the day.

This is the awesome sort of read perfect for people who love quirky, funny comedies. Morris has an artist’s touch in terms of comedic timing when it comes to dialogue, as shown in scenes like with the hippie commune out in the woods. It’s a crazy plot. Think Austin Powers with rednecks and hippies. But the author makes it completely work in a hilarious read that will keep you in stitches from start to finish!

Please excuse typos/name misspellings. Entered on screen reader.

One of my all-time favorite books to use in storytimes and readalouds, especially with 5 year olds, who seemed to be the perfect age to be just a little bit scared by the prospect of a SHARK. COMING. INTO. MY. HOUSE, yet were old enough to appreciate the humor and nonsense of it. Love the art, and the ridiculousness of the boy's worry about being attacked by a shark, spinning a story for his mother before bedtime.
