“A Whole Nother Story will keep you smiling, laughing, and totally on your toes from cover to cover. The Cheeseman family will take you in and drag you along on their unfortunate adventures, which include; sock puppets, chimps, time-travel machines, and hairless psych dogs. My unsolicited advice: Read it in one sitting, laugh and beg for the next book in the series”
— Becky Anderson, Anderson's Bookshop, Naperville, IL

Perfect for fans of The Mysterious Benedict Society and Mr. Lemoncello's Library comes a rollicking, high stakes adventure!

The three Cheeseman children, their father, and their psychic dog are all on the run. After one of Mr. Cheeseman's inventions attracts the attention of some dangerous people, his family finds themselves being chased by international super spies, top secret government agents, and a genius monkey.
Searching for safety, somewhere they can settle down and live relatively normal lives, the Cheeseman family face danger at every turn as they fight to protect not just their parents' invention, but their mother's sacred memory.

Dr. Cuthbert Soup was born in Vienna, Austria, at the height of the Great Sausage Famine. At twenty-three he dropped out of high school and moved to New York City, where he landed a gig playing elevator music. He was soon fired, however, as his trombone kept smacking other people in the elevator. He is currently the founder and president of the National Center for Unsolicited Advice, where he has served as an unofficial advisor to CEOs and heads of state, and has given countless inspirational lectures to unsuspecting crowds. In his spare time he enjoys cajoling, sneering, and practicing the trombone in crowded areas. Dr. Soup currently resides in a semi-secret location somewhere in the United States. A Whole Nother Story is his first book. www.awholenotherbook.com

A Whole Nother Story is just that--that rare read that keeps you smiling, laughing, and totally on your toes from cover to cover.” - Becky Anderson, Anderson's Bookshop, Naperville, IL

“Filled with delightfully quirky, imaginative characters, adventure, and wonderfully playful use of lanugage, this is great for middle graders, and it's a wonderful read aloud for all ages.” - Kris Vreeland, Vroman's Bookstore, Pasadena, CA

“A grand escapade centered around a close family of smart, helpful, likable characters who run into all sorts of oddball wanderers on the road and show plenty of inner stuff when push comes to shove...Great fun.” - Kirkus Reviews, starred review

“The storytelling, which merges deadpan narration with an absurdist sense of humor, is the real star of this fast-paced adventure.” - Publishers Weekly
