The series is a grade-schooler’s dream: crazy situations, funny dialogue, and a little bathroom humor thrown in for good measure. (Pretty tame though, in a day when children’s books can be called “Captain Underpants.”)
This time around Hashbrown is confronted with a rival student who has just come into a lot of money and is building a treehouse to eclipse his own. (The rival student is the “Mashimoto” from the title, in case you were wondering) The book does of a great job of building on the previous material and adding its own touches. In addition, it is quick and well-structured storytelling that I think even adults can enjoy.
If you haven’t already, give this series a read. I here there is a third helping in the works…
