Description
When someone gets ahold of the Barons’ Wonderful Doppelgänger Device, which allows them to transform into anyone, they use it to land Rose in jail by posing as her to cause a small explosion during the Pitchfork Fair. The dastardly villain then ambushes W.B. and abducts him onto a train bound for the other side of the country. With W.B. out of the way, the imposter replaces him until W.B. returns unexpectedly and exposes the plot. Unfortunately, the deadly duplicate is great at impersonation. To save his skin, W.B. must prove himself by W.B.ing harder than he’s ever W.B.ed before.

Rebekah R, Reviewer
This is a really fun book, that makes you smile over and over again as you read it. It features a loving but wacky family, a likable yet greedy hero, a hilarious teacher, a dastardly villain and lots of crazy situations. On a more serious level, it's about sticking up for your family when they are in trouble. I'm looking forward to sharing this with my nine year old.
Thanks to NetGalley for providing me with a copy of this in exchange for my honest review.
