 Dr. Cuthbert SoupThe three Cheeseman children, their father, and their psychic dog are all on the run. From whom? The CIA, naturally, but also corporate agents #5, #29, and # 207, plus two international superspies - one of whom happens to be a chimpanzee. They all want Dr. Cheeseman and his late wife's greatest invention - a time machine. But there’s only one problem: it's not working right yet. A Whole Nother Story takes us a high stakes, high action, hijinx-filled chase as the Cheesemans attempt to protect not just their parents' invention, but their mother's sacred memory. Kirkus calls A Whole Nother Story “a grand escapade centered around a close family of smart, helpful, likable characters who run into all sorts of oddball wanderers on the road and show plenty of inner stuff when push comes to shove,” and Publishers Weekly raves that "offbeat humor and wordplay…propel this very kid-friendly novel.” Dr. Soup was born in Vienna, Austria, at the height of the Great Sausage Famine. At 23, he dropped out of high school and moved to New York City, where he landed a gig playing elevator music. He was soon fired, however, as his trombone kept smacking other people in the elevator. He is currently the founder and president of the National Center for Unsolicited Advice, where he has served as an unofficial advisor to CEOs and heads of state, and has given countless inspirational lectures to unsuspecting crowds. In his spare time, he enjoys cajoling, sneering, and practicing the trombone in crowded areas. He currently resides in a semi-secret location somewhere in the United States. A Whole Nother Story is his first book.On the web: Click Here Share:
