Welcome to Wonderland #1: Home Sweet Motel by Chris Grabenstein

Pull up a chair by the window, because we’ve got a story that’s pure summer fun—rain or shine.

Meet eleven-year-old P.T. Wilkie, quite possibly the greatest storyteller alive. He’s also convinced that the Wonderland Motel is the best place a kid could ever call home. We’re talking poolside all-you-can-eat ice cream, a snack machine right in the living room, a frog slide, and (maybe, possibly) a rampaging alligator.

There’s just one problem. The Wonderland is fresh out of customers. And without them, P.T. and his best friend Gloria might have to wave goodbye to their beloved motel for good.

So they hatch a plan. A BIG one. A BOLD one. A truly OUTRAGEOUS one. With Gloria’s business smarts and P.T.’s world-famous schemes, saving the Wonderland just might be possible.

From Chris Grabenstein—bestselling author of Escape from Mr. Lemoncello’s Library and co-author with James Patterson—comes a wildly funny, fully illustrated series that’s a delight from the first page.

And the accolades speak for themselves:

• A New York Times Bestseller
• Winner of the Sid Fleischman Humor Award
• Sunshine State Young Readers Award List

Kirkus Reviews calls it “a funny, madcap dash,” and Lincoln Peirce, author of the Big Nate series, gives it five stars: “Kids who check into this madcap motel will want to stay forever!”

Perfect for young readers who love mystery, mischief, and a little fun in the sun. Stop by, give it a browse, and let P.T. talk you into staying a while.
