Regarding the Bathrooms: A Privy to the Past
Grade 4-6–Using the highly successful format introduced inRegarding the Fountain(Avon, 1998), Klise offers readers another punny tale about the kids at Geyser Creek Middle School. In preparation for a conference that will be held at his school, Principal Russ re-hires Florence Waters to renovate the bathrooms in the basement. She enlists the help of the children attending summer school, who discover that the school was built on the site of the Geyser Creek Bath and Spas. They find more than just the spa during their summer, including escaped convicts and buried artifacts. The tale is told exclusively through heavily illustrated letters, memos, newspaper articles, and police reports, and it includes multiple subplots that are tied up neatly at the end. Puns and bathroom humor are rampant in this clever, funny romp. A must for fans of the series.–Wendy Woodfill, Hennepin County Library, Minnetonka, MNCopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
