What Lib is reading...

right now is The Strictest School in the World. By Howard Whitehouse.
Being the tale of a cleaver girl, a rubber boy and a collection of flying machines, mostly broken. So far its a top 5(5 being best)!

I am almost halfway through this quaint, light, moreover funny book.

I read the 3rd book first, The Island of Mad Scientists(I didn't know at the time the order of the series). Being an Excursion to the Wilds of Scotland, Involving Many Marvels of Experimental Invention, Pirates, a Heroic Cat, a Mechanical man and a Monkey.
In a scale of 1-5(5 being the best) it tops it at 4 and a half stars!

This series was meant for middle-aged readers-but heck, I like it! =)

I love those books! The Strictest School In The World is pretty funny. I wonder why Rubberbones is like that.
