There is a city beneath New York City, one made by and for Anybodies. There you can find Bing Chubb's Ballpark, Willy Fattler's ever–changing Underground Hotel, and a castle whose spire sticks up into the dirt–filled sky...dangerously close to the rear ends of unsuspecting picnic–goers in Central Park. It's an extraordinary place, but it is in danger of becoming ordinary because of the nefarious Blue Queen. Somebody has to stop her, and if anybody is going to, nobody is better than everybody's favorite Anybody. In her third quirky adventure, Fern takes on the biggest, baddest, bluest opponent ever. Yikes! Ages: 10 – 13

This book was a real page-turner. It kept me interested through the whole thing. The endings of books are usually slow, this one wasn't. I liked this book a lot.

Tyler (Greenville, SC)
Such a new and fresh style of writing where the author is sarcastic and down to earth yet telling a fantastical story. Its fairy-tale meets the real world!

Anna (Jeffersonville, IN)
This is a Harry Potter type book where a GIRL is the main character. This makes it even more exciting for girls to read. The references to other books also supports reading. If I hadn't read the books referred to in this book, I probably would run to the store to get them. Great use of imagination, as well as building on the magical fad of the moment.

The Somebodies is a delightful magic adventure straight out of the imagination of about a 10 year old girl. You must have a vivid imagination in order to read, understand and keep up with the story line. So if you have a great imagination be prepared for a wild ride. Very fun and a great addition to the previous 2 books.
