Kennedy, James The Order of Odd-Fish, 403 pages. Delacorte Press (Random).
Language-G, Sexual Content-G, Violence-PG.
EL, MS, HS - ESSENTIAL
Jo Larouche has lived 13 years with her Aunt Lily since she was found as a baby in her Aunt's laundry room with this note pinned to her blanket:
This is Jo. Please take care of her.
But beware.
This is a DANGEROUS baby.
Up to this point Jo has been as Aunt Lily says "as dangerous as a glass of milk," but that all changes at Aunt Lily's annual Christmas costume party when several strange things happen: a boy in a hedgehog costume shoots an elderly Russian Colonel, a talking cockroach is found tied in the basement moaning about how this will play in the tabloid press and a box falls from the sky addressed to Jo from the order of Order of Odd-Fish.
This book is like Monty Python and Roald Dahl mixed together. It's extremely funny and had me laughing out loud.
