编辑推荐From School Library JournalGrade 3–5—Otto Pillip, eight-year-old inventor/secret agent, is back to defeat yet another wacky villain. Prune Man is out to steal the world's water supply by holding the Earth's oceans hostage in a giant water balloon and threatening to blast them all into outer space. He kidnaps Otto to use as an unwilling accomplice. The over-the-top humor becomes as tedious and repellent as Prune Man. There are too many gags, too many palindromes and anagrams, and too many chapters (4 introductions, 43 chapters, 3 epilogues). The black-and-white cartoons on every page, while appealing in a sketchy comic-book fashion, can't carry the story alone.—H. H.
