Review from my 11 year old:

“Alvin invents a paper slinger and uses it to sling papers. One crashes into a window of the old Huntley House. He retrieves it and finds a burger wrapper. He knows Old Mrs. Huntley doesn’t eat take out. Alvin keeps going with new inventions to gather information. Deploys an automatic man-trap and earns the pride of his parents.”

He recommends this to 10/11 year olds. ( )

Wonderful! Amazed how much I remembered from childhood. I wish we had enough copies to read this with the Vintage Book Circle. ( )
