Fred & Anthony Escape from the Netherworld (Fred and Anthony) (Hardcover)

~ (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

When Fred and Anthony are faced with their unfinished history project, they come up with a great idea: pay someone else to do it.  There's just one problem: they have no money.  Luckily, they have plenty of schemes for making quick dough.  So, after a paralyzing case of writer's block forces them to abandon careers as best-selling authors, they ride around town on their skateboards, trying to get "old people" to hire them.

 

But Fred and Anthony never imagined that in their quest to avoid work, they would stumble into a portal to the Netherworld, where terrifying (or just plain wacky) encounters with ghosts, monsters, and other paranormal creatures eerily echo the plots of their favorite horror movies . . .

 

 We're launching with two titles and following with one a season thereafter.

5.0 out of 5 stars A first rate series., September 29, 2007

Absolutely hilarious! I laughed out loud. Fred and Anthony are delightfully demented, pals and Primavera whips up a story in a way that only an experienced master of the craft can. It's zany and clever and is spot on for the young and silly set. I think this series is destined to be a classic. Bravo, Elise!

This review is from: Fred & Anthony Escape from the Netherworld (Fred and Anthony) (Paperback)

This book and its sequel, Fred & Anthony Meet the Demented Super-Degerm-O Zombie, are enchanting and ingenious - the best chapter books I've seen.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good and safe book, March 4, 2009

By	book crazy "sameron" (California, USA) - See all my reviews

I have to admit I was a little concern about my almost 7yo son reading this book, so we read it together... there is nothing bad in this book, no bad words, no bad behiavor and its very funny.. better than captain underpants books. Certainly is not a serious/deep reading book but for fun is more than OK. I prefer Franny K. Stein series but this is good too..
