Perfect for fans of The Mysterious Benedict Society and Mr. Lemoncello’s Library comes a rollicking, high stakes adventure!
The plan was simple. Ethan Cheeseman, along with his three smart, polite, and relatively odor-free children, would travel back in time to end an ancient family curse and save their mother. Now that the LVR (a super-secret time machine) is in working order, it should be easy peasy. Except they didn’t account for one basic rule of science: Murphy’s Law, where everything that possibly could go wrong, does. So the Cheeseman family finds themselves on another madcap adventure, this time through stormy seas and haunted castles. And though their narrator, Dr. Soup, has a ton of unsolicited advice to offer young readers, he doesn’t have much to say to help the Cheesemans. Just this one thing: Good luck!
Big Book: A Whole Nother Story is taking the market by storm! Booksellers, librarians, and kids are a’buzz.
On-going marketing efforts: A pre-pub tour, a pub tour, a book specific website, a hilarious book trailer-it’s all here!
Explosive New Talent: Stand-up comedian and screenwriter Gerry Swallow (aka Dr. Soup) boasts a fresh and funny voice, perfectly suited to children’s books.
Broad Middle-Grade: With its humor, touch of the unbelievable, and quirky characters and situations, this hits the sweet spot in age level.
Timing: The paperback of book one is out one month prior to this new hardcover (11/23 o-s), reeling in a ton of new readers!

CUTHBERT HUBERT EGBERT SOUP was born, at a very young age, to Filbert
and Roberta Soup, in Vienna, Austria. As founder, president, and vice
president of the National Center for Unsolicited Advice, he has earned
millions by making himself so annoying that people pay him to go away.
Dr. Soup is currently working on a Broadway musical performed entirely
by sock puppets on ice. He lives with his two pet snails, Gooey and
Squishy, and his dog, Kevin, who is neither gooey nor squishy. A Whole Nother Story was his first book, and this is his second. He's decided to make it a good one.
