The Unusual Mind of Vincent Shadow

185 pp. | Little | November, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-0-316-05665-6 $14.99
(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Guy Francis & Mike Wohnoutka. Middle-schooler Vincent Shadow creates toy prototypes in his secret lab. The inventor's pastime gets kicked into high gear when a local toymaker announces a once-in-a-lifetime contest. Many of the story's characters are cardboard and the ending is lackluster, but readers may appreciate the creativity of Vincent's inventions, shown in occasional spot-illustration sketches and a removable "top secret" notebook.
