The Somebodies by N.E. Bode

In which Fern and Howard get expelled from Mrs. Fluggery's math class and Fern gets an invitation to the Annual Anybodies Convention with guest speaker Ubuleen Heet in the City Beneath the City, a city under NY City. Fern learns about the evil Blue Queen, who eats book souls. When the Drudgers hear that Fern and Howard have been expelled, they want to send them to the Military! Fern and Howard, not wanting to be sent away, jump into the invitation and into Willy Fattler's Underground Hotel, an ever-changing hotel. They look for the Brainkeeper, run away from evil flying monkeys, and bump into the Blue Queen.

This was a very dramatic book. Full of adventure, worry, goofiness, sadness, and a disguised author. N.E. Bode is still running from the crazed writing teacher! There are a lot of silly characters and an apple that's really The Art of Being Anybody, a winking goldfish, and a mini wild pony made out of hair. You might have to mix some letters and make new words (or names).

This is book 3 of a trilogy.
Recommended for people who like: book souls, moths, and smart girls.
