About this audiobook
But in a bizarre turn of events, a number of other children's book heroes also happen to be unwinding at the vintage mountain retreat, including the dim but well-built Manley Boys, the boy-crazy Cutesy Dell Twins, and Eddie Wax from the little-known classic Stumpy Rides to Glory. And then there are the adorable mystery-solving Hooper Quints, who, along with a wealthy heiress's priceless diamond necklace and numerous mounted animal heads, have suddenly gone missing.
Meaningless coincidence? Or could it all be part of a nefarious plot involving duct tape, some Bavarian folk pants, and a slew of counterfeit dinner coupons? Tough to say, but one thing's for sure: Katie, Lily, and Jasper are the only swell youngsters around who can solve this spine-tingling mystery
From the Compact Disc edition.

Reviews for The Clue of the Linoleum Lederhosen
44 ratings3 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Again hilarious and weird, but this time with mystery novels.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This sequel to Whales on Stilts, focuses on Katie Mulligan star of the (imaginary) Horror Hollow series of books. Katie is tired of having to always have adventures - all she really wants is a nice summer vacation and she's determined to have one. Soon, Katie is off with Lily and Jasper to the Moose Tongue Lodge for some rest and relaxation and absolutely no mysteries or monsters! Unfortunately, almost as soon as they arrive, the Hooper Quintuplets (from another imaginary series which appears to be a cross between The Sound of Music and the Bobbsey Twins) are kidnapped. Lily and Jasper are all for helping to rescue the Quints and catch the kidnapper, but Katie is completely uninterested - all she wants to do is sit and read fashion magazines and hang out with the Cutesy Dell Twins (Sweet Valley High knock-offs). Adventure just won't leave Katie alone, though and when her friends are put in peril it's really only a matter of time until Katie joins the fray.
Just like Whales on Stilts, this is extremely silly, but there's also some very poignant moments this time. The resolution of the plot reveals that as long as a character's books are being read they are frozen in age. When Katie mentions to Lily that this means that they'll grow up and Jasper never will (he's clearly been the same age for decades already), the heartbreak happens when Katie realizes that she also is stuck in time and only Lily will get to continue to grow up - maybe have kids even - while Katie will always be the same as long as her books are read. I'm interested to see where Anderson takes this for the next volume of the series Jasper Dash and the Flame-Pits of Delaware. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Who would have thought Anderson could top the first book in this series, the sublime Whales on Stilts? Well, he has. I laughed and laughed and subjected several coworkers, friends, and passing acquaintances to spontaneous read-alouds. I am in love.
