In a way, it's like a modern answer to the sheep Odysseus used to escape from the cave of the Cyclops. Would you say that Hugo Pepper's adventures are the same thing as an odyssey (a long series of wanderings or adventures, esp. when filled with notable experiences, hardships, etc.)? I recently read a book that makes fun of the large number of orphan stories coming out for readers your age: The Willoughbys, by Lois Lowry. Lemony Snicket wrote a review saying that The Willoughbys is a sly parody. I would be curious to know your opinion of it, if your summer reading list isn't full already.

I will keep this book in mind for when D'Arcy is a bit older - he's 7 and doesn't enjoy reading to himself much yet, unless it's Captain Underpants. Great review Lena.
