<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>When three alien cheeses threaten the Earth with cheesy destruction, Funny Boy must once again use his superhuman wit to save the planet.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>When America's cows go on strike, a gang of interstellar cheeses land on Earth</b> <br> The nation's cattle have gotten too smart for their own good. Tired of letting humans steal their milk, American cows have gone on strike. This is great news for every kid who hates drinking his milk, but trouble for anybody who likes cheese. Funny Boy--a joke-telling superhero who was sent to Earth from the planet Crouton--is mourning the cheese shortage when five giant cheeses fall on Wisconsin, squashing an unlucky farmer named George Gouda. That alone would be weird enough, but the cheeses also talk. The cheeses are aliens from the faraway planet Chattanooga, and they have come to stop the cheese shortage. The country's woe is ended, but something about the aliens' story stinks worse than month-old Muenster. It will take Funny Boy and his galactic sense of humor to curdle these curds before America starts to spoil. <p/> Funny Boy Takes on the Chit-Chatting Cheeses from Chattanooga <i>is the 3rd book in Funny Boy, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.</i><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Gutman continues to do what he does best: entertain readers." --<i>Publishers Weekly</i> "[Children] will chortle over Gutman's characteristically broad humor." --<i>Booklist</i> "Gutman spins a delightful tale." --<i>The Newark Star-Ledger</i><br><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Dan Gutman (b. 1955) is a prolific author of popular children's books. He began his career with adult nonfiction books about baseball, covering topics such as the game's greatest scandals and the evolution of its equipment. The birth of his first child inspired him to begin writing for a young audience, beginning with <i>Baseball's Biggest Bloopers</i> (1993). <i>The Kid Who Ran for President</i> (1996) became Gutman's bestselling book, and has sold almost a million copies. In 1997, he published <i>Honus & Me</i>, a story about a young boy who finds a rare baseball card that magically takes him back to 1909 to play with the great Honus Wagner. Gutman went on to create a series about time-travel encounters with other baseball stars such as Jackie Robinson and Babe Ruth. <i>Miss Daisy Is Crazy</i> (2004) was the first My Weird School book, beginning a long-running series of more than forty novels. With <i>Mission Unstoppable</i> (2011), Gutman debuted a new adventure series: the Genius Files, starring fraternal twins Coke and Pepsi McDonald. The first book in the series became a <i>New York Times </i>bestseller. The sequel, <i>Never Say Genius</i>, was published in 2012. Gutman lives in New Jersey with his family.
