Who Shrunk Daniel Funk? series.
Illustrated by
Stephen Gilpin.
Daniel Funk and his secret toe-sized twin brother, Pablo, are back for a final adventure. This time, trouble begins after Daniel's sister accidentally uploads a video of Pablo singing. Authentic sibling rivalry, humorously exaggerated characters (though their dialogue is a bit much), and a look at the ability of the internet to make anyone a star create an entertaining read.

Who Shrunk Daniel Funk? series.
Illustrated by
Stephen Gilpin.
Daniel Funk and his miniature twin brother Pablo return in another marginally funny gross-jokes-packed adventure. The plot revolves around a model rocket launch, sibling rivalry, and a voyage to the La Brea Tar Pits. As Daniel learns how to control his ability to shrink, he and Pablo get into even more trouble, shown in cartoony ink-line illustrations.

Who Shrunk Daniel Funk? series.
Illustrated by
Stephen Gilpin.
Daniel Funk, who lives with a variety of female relatives, is excited to meet his newfound twin brother, Pablo--even though Pablo's the size of a toe. Daniel's ability to shrink leads to many complications, some gross. The characterizations are thin and Pablo's dude-heavy dialogue is annoying, but the setup is unique and the story, illustrated with ink-line cartoons, is lively.

Who Shrunk Daniel Funk? series.
Illustrated by
Stephen Gilpin.
In this second book starring Daniel Funk and his toe-size twin brother Pablo, Pablo dresses up as a "mini-mummy" for Daniel's ancient Egypt diorama. A contest and a bully add some measure of tension to this silly story. Fans will find much to enjoy, though logical gaps are apparent. Cartoony line illustrations in ink add verve.
