Jack Henry's back--in a laugh-out-loud read inhabited by killer cats, giant tapeworms, and escaped convicts. This latest installment of Jack's saga will appeal to the many fans of the series, and it can provide inspiration to young writers who will see how Gantos mined his own early school years for stories to embellish (at least we hope they're embellished).
