About this audiobook
Mr. Chickee, the genial blind man in the neighborhood, gives 9-year-old Steven a mysterious bill with 15 zeros on it and the image of a familiar but startling face. Could it be a quadrillion dollar bill? Could it be real? Well, Agent Fondoo of the U.S. Treasury Department and his team of Secret Government Agents are determined to get that money back! But Steven and his best friends, Russell and Zoopy the giant dog, are more than a match for the Feds. After all, Steven is the president of the Flint Future Detectives Club, and the inventor of fantastic spying and detecting equipment such as the Snoopeeze 9000!

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Dude! Why did Kirkus give this a starred review? I *love* Christopher Paul Curtis, but, I'm sorry, I don't think he works as well in the third person as he does in the first. I think he was trying to introduce readers to the POV of a child with a seriously overactive imagination, but, to me, it just didn't work. The novel is silly and light fun, which is fine, I guess, but it's no Bucking the Sarge or Bud, Not Buddy.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5What an imagination! The names and the characters to some people are fictional; but growing up with this authors sister... a lot of the name used were/are actual people in Flint. Another long read yet humorous. Reminds me of the Spanky, Alfalfa, Buckwheat that gang. They were a special group of little boys with out-of-this-world imaginations. Steven, Russell, waterfalls ...Mr. Chickee
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Steven, member of the Future Flint Detective Club, has been given a quadrillion dollar bill by his friend Mr. Chickee. When he goes to the Department of the Treasury to find out if the bill could be real, he meets Agent Fondoo and he thinks there's something fishy about him. Unbeknownst to Steven, Agent Fondoo has just gotten a memo about the missing quadrillion dollar bill and the huge reward for finding it. Fondoo will stop at nothing to get it back, but are Steven's detective skills sharp enough to keep the money safe? I'm not a huge fan of mysteries, but the quirky characters and funny situations in this book kept me turning the pages.
