Sofa Diving Surprise

What We Found in the Sofa and How it Saved the World by Henry Clark

An entertaining book with tessering sofas, Lord of the Rings spoofs, talking dominoes, belly-buttonless clones, and alternate dimensions.

Recommended age: 10– 12; 12 – 14; 14 – 16; 16 – 18.

When a mysterious sofa appears in front of the bus stop, River, Freak and Fiona thinks it’s a good place to sit while they wait for the bus. Not much more. But when they search under the cushions, they come up with a two-headed coin, a flattened peanut shell, a chewing gum wrapper, a plaid sock, a fishhook (which of course gets stuck in River’s hand), an old wooden double-six domino, and a green crayon with a label that says ZUCCHINI. It turns out that this is likely the only zucchini crayon in existence. And that means it’s valuable. Of course, if you found a multi-hundred-dollar crayon, what would you do? Sell it on e-bay, of course! But when the auction goes startlingly high, and when they meet the owner of the mysterious sofa, they realize they’re into something a lot bigger than they could ever imagine. So come along, catch a ride and find out what they found in the sofa and how it saved the world.
