ANDREW LOST Series
by J. C. Greenburg
One word best describes myself when I was a little kid: curious. I was constantly asking my parents and teachers questions about things I didn't understand. Every year I looked forward to my school's science fair because it gave me the opportunity to learn interesting facts about plants and animals that I never knew before. And I remember asking my dad, a history buff, questions about such topics as our past presidents and the Constitution. Andrew Dubble, the title character in the Andrew Lost series is also a curious boy who enjoys acquiring knowledge. But the comparison between Andrew and me ends here, because Andrew's curiosity leads him to make major mistakes that put him and his friends in very unusual and, at times, scary situations.
The first book in this series, ANDREW LOST: ON THE DOG, explains the trouble Andrew and his friends are in and begins to take readers on a very strange and bumpy ride. Subsequent books continue to follow their wacky adventures. The settings change and the excitement and thrills are at an all-time high! At the end of each book is additional pages of interesting facts about people, animals and things --- as well as a list of fascinating books totally unrelated to ANDREW LOST that are certainly worth buying. So even when the stories end, the learning never stops.
In this feature, you'll learn more about these books and the busy woman who wrote them, take a fun quiz and more. So be prepared now to get lost with Andrew and his friends in all their heart-stopping adventures!
