In A Whole Nother Story, Dr. Cuthbert Soup chronicles the exploits of the Cheeseman family, who are on the run. Ethan Cheeseman and his wife, Olivia, were almost done inventing a time machine when they realized that government agents, shady businessmen, and international spies were determined to draft the invention for their own devious uses. After Olivia’s mysterious death, Mr. Cheeseman and his three children were forced to move and assume new identities, while hoping to crack the code Olivia left behind to finish the time machine and use it to reverse the circumstances that led to her death. Accompanied by their psychic dog, Pinky, who senses approaching danger, Jough, Maggie, and Gerard (and his beloved sock puppet, Steve) hit the road with their father and meet a number of interesting characters on the way, like a band of misfit circus performers.
Throughout the text, the narrator, Dr. Cuthbert Soup, dispenses of advice connected to teachable moments from the tale. Although his advice sometimes takes the tone of a backseat driver, the interchapter breaks will not distract readers from the fast-moving, engaging plot. The book is geared towards third through sixth graders, but will appeal most to 8- to 10-year-olds; older readers might feel too jaded for its wholesome lessons.
- Fear Factor:
(With evil agents hot on their tail, the Cheeseman family is under no small amount of pressure, and the suspense and potential danger are enough to keep younger readers on the edge of their seats.)
- Heart:
(The Cheeseman children are earnest and loveable, with a strong sense of duty and plenty of gumption.)
- Attitude:
(As Dr. Soup writes, Jough, Maggie, and Gerard are “smart, polite, attractive, and relatively odor-free”—and even the pirates they encounter have manners.)
- Psst: The Cheeseman children make up new names for themselves each time they move, and Maggie’s is actually short for Magenta-Jean Jurgenson.
- If you like this: Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events also offers suspense, precocious child protagonists, and an eccentric narrator.
