The reason you're getting an extra dose this week is that another hiatus is on the way. I'll see if I can post from the resort but for now... you're getting books.
Game Plan for Disaster is the 74th book released here in the UK. It's not a bad story seeing its all about hand egg (U.S Football). The quick version of this is two stories. Kevin "Ace" Harrington state's star player is being targeted by mystery accidents and gamblers, whereas Robbie Stevenson son of the head of the Library is being targeted by two thugs who convinced him to steal a rare edition of Edgar Allen Poe's The Gold Bug.
It's quite a nice mix of stories for once. Not everyone is part of one gang for once. Everyone seems to want a piece of Ace and they get busted one by one.
We'll also take a minute to say how nice the illustrations are in this one. And that the Hardback Angus and Robertson edition that I have completely spoils the plot. Clue its not the boys lost in the woods which is the cover for every other edition. And that includes the UK paperback.
Also for some reason we do not get a next episode / book trail in this version which is the only difference between the two editions.
Anyway US edition here. UK edition here.
