The seven quirky Problim siblings are looking out for themselves while their parents are on an archaeological expedition (they think). After they accidentally blow up their house, the Problims move to their missing grandfather's home in nearby Lost Cove. The whimsy factor and bathroom humor are high in this lighthearted novel. Numerous subplots and well-developed secondary characters keep the story moving without overwhelming the Problims' family-centered mystery.
