A Whole Nother Story (2010)
by Dr. Cuthbert Soup

A hilarious and wacky kids’ novel that tells the adventures of a family on the run.  Dr. Cheeseman is trying to fix the time machine he and his now-deceased wife built, but there are several evil organizations chasing him down.  Cheeseman and his three kids are constantly moving to new towns and creating new identities to keep themselves and their time machine safe.

This is Dr. Cuthbert Soup’s first book, and it is so incredibly well done.  His comedic timing plays out effortlessly on the pages, as if you are watching the scenes unfold before you.  The characters are quirky and likable, even the “bad guys.”  I am so pleased to see there is a sequel available!
