by Jim Benton
Dear Dumb Diary, Franny K. Stein, and more. He’s created
a TV series, designed clothing, written books, and produced
a movie, and he can cook just about anything you want. Jim
lives in Michigan with his wife and kids, who are also total
experts on everything.
W
ith his confidence, imagination, and
trusty sidekick, Dumpylumps (who happens
to be a duck), there’s no telling what
trouble he’ll get into. Lucky for him,
he has a knack for getting himself
out of trouble, too. So when he finds
himself at the center of an
intergalactic conflict, he’ll need
his top-notch thing-doing; his
teacher, the gorgeous Mrs.
Nozzleburp; and the help of his
friend Patti to find his way out.
Will he be able to save the day and
get back to class? Maybe.
Things are what he
does best.
