Fans of the first Otis Dooda book will relish the return of Otis, Potted Plant Guy, and other Tidwell Towers residents in this sequel. Otis's big bro Gunther's mysterious girlfriend, Pandora, visits while Otis plots beating neighbor Sid Frackas to be the building's Lego genius. Underscored by Heatley's drawings, the book's wackiness is laid on thick but it sure is fun.

This book revolves around a motley assortment of NYC apartment-building residents and Otis Dooda's attempts to free himself from a curse bestowed by lobby fixture "Potted Plant Guy." Otis must thwart his pimply brother; meddling, pushy mom; and a neighbor's smelly pony. Gross-out jokes will amuse potty-humor enthusiasts, and entertaining cartoons complement the story but add little dimension to Otis's plight.
