Awesome Dawson

Oh my! I got this book way, way back last spring, when my library assistant was out with back trouble. I ended up hurriedly cataloging it and sending it out in the world without getting a chance to read it. And it was checked out so much that I never was able to really get time to read it myself.

Well, it finally got checked back in and I sat down yesterday to read it.

Oh my! What a great book! I see why it's been checked out so much. Our title character is a scavenging inventor, always rooting around to find new things to add to an invention. His latest attempt at an invention goes haywire, growing larger and larger, and sucking up more and more of the world, until the entire universe is threatened with destruction. Dawson must come to the rescue with a new idea in order to save the world.

Great book. And how serendipitous it was for me to have a parent come into my school library a half hour after I read Awesome Dawson and tell me that her son loved to invent things....Would I have a book about that? Do I ever?!
