This book is about a hotel full of animals. It’s about an evil ice maker. It’s about glass eyeballs and human catapults. It’s about really old panty hose and Possibly Fake Hair. But mostly it’s about Leon Zeisel and his epic quest to survive fourth grade. Fans of Lemony Snicket will feel right at home with this clever and suspenseful underdog-turns-champion story with a dribble of magic.
