John Peel (Author)

Book Description

Age Level: 8 and up

Many of Marshall's possessions--his old sneakers, his homework, his just-finished model kit, the papers from his paper route, even the gum from under his desk at school--all start disappearing into thin air. He and Simon suspect a strange new kid at school, and set a trap. But the truth is more than even they have suspected: Marshall's stuff is headed for the future. Online promo (eeriein.com).

This review is from: Simon & Marshall's Excellent Adventure (Eerie, Indiana #4) (Paperback)

This second "Eerie" novel by John Peel (the famous UK DJ??? OK, probably not) is a vast improvement on "Burea of Lost" (Eerie #2). The story is witty, fast paced, entertaining and, for once, not modelled after an episode from the TV show.

One complaint: For a series that I've noted before as being incredibly faithful to its source material, I was disappointed to see that Peel got one detail wrong here. Dash is identified at one point as "Dash Check" whe in the series his name was "Dash X" (he got his name from the markings on his hand which read X and -). I know, I know...no big deal but this seemed like a pretty sloppy error to me.
