Review: Fantastic, creative, wonderfully descriptive and suspenseful!!! Leo and his friend Remi manage the wacky
Whippet Hotel. The hotel, with its many
floors of great fun, also contains mystery floors that Leo and Remi have not
yet discovered. When Merganzer Whippet,
the owner of the Whippet Hotel, discovers that the Whippet Hotel is dangerously
in debt because "taxes have not been paid," he enlists the help of
Leo & Remi to help "save the hotel." He gives them a list of items they must find
and put in place before the deadline.
Along the way, Leo & Remi encounter puzzles that need solving and
come across floors within the hotel they didn't know existed.
"3 Below" is the second in the "Floors"
series by Patrick Carman and is absolutely a great book. Targeted for the reading age of 4th-6th
graders. It is a fantasy book without "the dark side" that comes with
so many adventure/fantasy books. With
all its very descriptive narratives, it helps the reader visualize the hotel
and its wacky characters and mysterious floors easily. (rev. P.Howard)
