Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Still as funny as the first two parts and I just love Even Madder Aunt Maud and her stuffed stoat Malcom (or is it Sally?). And for some reason I got the American edition of the books from Amazon Germany and there is this really delightful glossary for Americans in the back of the book (in all three parts actually). no reviews | add a review

I understand why Eddie had to go to America and not his parents. That was done well but, there was not a lot of action. I am saying that the story could have been a little bit longer.
I like the interesting fact that I didn't know about. I like it when I learn from book whether their fiction or nonfiction.
What annoys me, and this is just the inner sailor in me. The fact that they called what stir the ship a wheel. A wheel. I'm sorry, the correct term is a helm.
Maybe the author is trying to bounce out his knowledge making realistic that not everyone knows everything in all the areas of expertise. ( )
