- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The Field of Wacky Inventions by Patrick Carman is the conclusion of the Merganzer D. Whippet trilogy. Leo and Remi have flown with the top floor of their hotel to a far away field where they are met by the top floors of a number of other Whippet hotels. Mr. Whippet has one last challenge for all his hotel managers and whomever comes out the winner will inherit his entire hotel business.Leo and Remi are the only children Merganzer has brought on as hotel managers. Leo, in fact, is unique because he actually owns his hotel. As you can imagine, some of the others aren't happy competing against children who already appear to be Merganzer's favorites.As with all things Whippet, the challenge is a mechanical one. The different floors can fit together into a new hotel. Although, it might be more of a death trap than a proper hotel!The Field of Wacky Inventions is a departure from the other two in that the Whippet hotel is no longer the focus. I guess this one is more of a Glass Elevator than a Chocolate Factory.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Leo is a boy who owns and runs his own hotel, it’s called the Whippet Hotel. It is a rather unique and interesting place and it was designed and built by a rather unique and interesting person. Merganzer D. Whippet is a billionaire genius inventor who seems to enjoy life to it’s fullest. Merganzer has taken Leo and his step-brother Remi on to an adventure to a place called the Field of Wacky Inventions. Their mode of travel? Merganzer attached a Zeppelin to the top of the Whippet hotel and took the top floor as ballast.After flying above the clouds for a while, they met up with 5 other airships with what looked like other hotel tops hanging under them. As it turns out, that is exactly what they were. Merganzer has planned for a competition between all the managers of his hotels, and the winner will be put in charge of running them all. Leo and Remi spent the night in a tree house and were the last ones to make it to breakfast where everyone else was waiting for them. After breakfast is when everyone was told about the competition.I thought this was a very good book and even though it was written for middle school kids I still felt it was a fun read for myself. The writing was not skimped on just because of the target audience, the story was well done and the important thing in the story were ‘explained’ to help one understand what was going on. On top of that the story was a very upbeat book and gave positive reinforcement for many social interactions that people in general should follow. It gives a better way to deal with people that are not nice without becoming like them. Excellent book, I’ll have to try and read the first two.
