Product Description

Only master of mayhem Wally McDoogle can turn an innocent game of laser tag into international espionage. From the Swiss Alps to the African plains, Agent 00 1/7th bumblingly employs such top-secret gizmos as rocket-powered toilet paper, exploding dental floss and the ever-popular transformer tacos (don't laugh, they get great gas mileage) in a desperate attempt to stop the dreaded and super secret . . . Giggle Gun. It isn't until Wally finally takes responsibility for his actions (which unfortunately involves leaping out of a jet fighter traveling 1.2 gazillion miles an hour), that he is finally able to save his life. . . And while he is at it, the entire free world.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Best, May 29, 1999

By A Customer

This was most definately one of the best Wally McDoogle I've ever read(and I've read them all). It might help to read some of the other ones first, though. Most books in the series relate to the others.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great series, August 9, 2008

A Kid's Review

I love all the books in this series. They are funny and easy to read and each book is a story in itself. I am collecting them all and have read about 10 or so. This is a great book for grades 4-6.

5.0 out of 5 stars My life as a screaming Skydiver, May 11, 2006

A Kid's Review

This book is funnier than any TV show. The characters in this super funny book are Wally (the human catastrophe), Wallstreet a girl who wants to make $1,000,000 by the age of 13, and Opera who's pretty much a human vacuum. There are many settings in this story - The Swiss Alps, a laser tag store, the sewer, CIA headquarters, and 5,000 feet in the air. The problem in this story is BIG - REAL BIG and simple, Wally becomes (insert James Bond music here) 007th.

In the beginning of the book Wally meets James Blonde, goes to the CIA headquarters, and rides in a limo. Next, he finds out Wallstreet and Opera are coming and finds out James Blonde is evil. To find out what happens, read My life as a Screaming Skydiver.

The theme in this book is to take responsability for your actions. This book reminded me of James Bond. Boys all over the the world would love this book.
