All the kids who've read the book have told me this is the one that makes them laugh the most. Nothing like a little slapstick and physical comedy to get people yucking it up.

We learn a little more about Kevin as his supercharged imagination here. We also find out where the Influxitron winds up after it's lost in the mail.

Kevin`s Point of View - Prologue by Colonist Word Count: 1619
1  Comment

From Kevin’s Point of View the material and fantastic weave and intermingle and tangle and snarl together to form a world that somehow makes sense. Life continues this way until an unexpected package arrives at his door. But the owner of this package, the very nasty Devin Talon, will do anything to get it back. With his brilliant imagination as his only defense, Kevin must outwit his pursuers to keep himself and his friends alive, and maybe save the world while he’s at it.
