Comic book geek, deviser of crazy schemes, genius (according to him)-- Kit Feeny is here!
Kit's mother's birthday looms and Kit is determined to get her something way, way better than his sisters, something completely "stupid awesome!" Would she like a cool metal detector? Where might Kit buy a baby dragon? Or maybe a spiffy pair of hi-tops? Shovels, dirt, Elvis and the words "pip-pip!" all lead to the best, ugliest present ever!
(From the Trade Paperback Edition)
"Long on charm, the childish spirit of Kit and Hoff is infectious, and their ramshackle inventions are recognizable as the products of real, homespun imagination." (School Library Journal)
