Book Carnival catastrophe insurance The book primarily follows Mona Problim who is clever but also pretty She distrusts the entire O Pinion family even though some of her siblings trust the children next door though clearly the mother Desdemona O Pinion has it out for them As each of the Problim children is having dreams about their mother as they search for the sticks that can help them to find her they decide to enter the town Carnival contests The prize is to go into the caverns where they suspect they may find something. EBook Carnival catastrophe crow With riddles to solve contests to be won and lots of mystery afoot this book is anything but boring With some themes about not judging others based on appearances or prejudices supporting family unconditionally being true to yourself and working together this book has some great underlying messages. Kindle Carnival catastrophe What I loved The story is overall humorous and has some really funny moments For instance Mona goes to the pageant s dress up portion in a vampire costume and of course there is the humor children will appreciate of how baby Toot communicates through his gas he has hundreds of different toots categorized and described in footnotes While the overall mystery continues as a thread connecting the books where is Mama Problim there are a lot of smaller plotlines in this book that make it its own complete story The lessons learned by the children particularly Mona here are really invaluable and given in an approachable way For instance what she learns about her neighbor and rival Carly Rue O Pinion and how she ends up changing her stance on her. Carnival Catastrophe epubs air Final verdict Great for fans of Lemony Snicket The Goonies and general hijinks will enjoy this irreverent and comical middle grade fiction With funny and teachable moments this series is great for the older elementary school audience Carnival Catastrophe The Problim Children 2 Not having read the first book in the Problim Children series I wasn t sure what to expect when I picked up Carnival Catastrophe I ended up liking it enough that I will most likely read the 1st and 3rd volumes in the series While I could have done without Toot s constant tooting his form of communicating his feelings it adds to the quirkiness of the Problim family It took me a few chapters to get all seven of the Problim children figured out but once I did I enjoyed reading about each of them and their uniqueness The Problim family faces some rather difficult circumstances While their father has returned home saving them from being separated and sent to seven different continents 1st book their mother is still missing Mona especially is eager to rescue her mother The Problim children use their rather unique talents to discover twigs that together will lead them to what remains of the fountain of youth but can they get there before their enemies And can they find and rescue their mother along the way In addition to the main story line involving finding a way to the island where the fountain of youth supposedly lies Mona also discovers that her bluntness sometimes leads her to do cruel things and maybe she doesn t need to behave that way in order to be loved This is a good series for young readers who like a strong dose of quirkiness mixed in with their stories of super powered characters Carnival Catastrophe The Problim Children 2 Mona continues to be my favorite character She reminds me a little of The Grinch Pippi Longstocking Matilda and Wednesday from the Addams Family I love how Violet describes her as a thundercloud pretty but kind of scary The way she rolls her eyes how she can be moody sometimes blunt with her words sneaky and how rain is her favorite weather And how she s always plotting her next dastardly deed Pranks are one of her specialties and where Carly Rue is concerned she owes her rival a revenge prank for Carly Rue and her mom trying to kick them out of town But when Mona s prank goes a bit too far she starts to worry that she might be seen by her friends and family as a bully or a villain Usually it s not in her nature to worry about what other people think of her but now she s becoming introspective taking into account other people s feelings She really doesn t want to seem cruel or unkind As in the first book I love the bond that the Problim children have with one another each child has their own strengths and are always looking out for one another There s even a fun riddle to solve hijinks at the carnival and beautiful messaging about finding one good truth to tell someone and that it s important to lead with the good Favorite line I believe everyone has their own song playing deep in their soul When you hear the music they make you see a very vulnerable part of their heart Carnival Catastrophe The Problim Children 2 The Problim family is one of my favorite book families With seven children all with different talents there is sure to be at least one character each reader will love Boys will especially enjoy Toot who communicates through farts Mama Problim is still missing but all the children are happy that their father is home and that the neighbors can no longer try to separate them sending each to a different continent The children are working on finding a treasure their grandfather found and he has left them clues to find the treasure and destroy it As they search for the bones that will connect and become the Water Witch they solve the clues to find the treasure Mona Problim especially hopes to fine Mama as well as the treasure during this family adventure When they learn they must go to the Pirate Cove to find the treasure they each enter a contest in the yearly Corn Dog Carnival Each child enters a contest in which they are sure to win however Mona ends up in the Corn Dog Princess Pageant and she is nothing like a princess Mona hopes to play a prank on the girl who usually wins and her nemesis Carly Rae during the competition When the prank goes wrong Mona learns that sometimes pranks can go too far She also finds the other girls in the pageant enjoying being around her since she stays true to herself not conforming to regular pageant regulations For example on Dress Up Night she shows up in a costume thinking that is dress up. Carnival Catastrophe bookworm the rest all look the part of princess Will Mona be able to pull of a win Will she be unable to go with her siblings to the Pirate Cove You will need to read this exciting tale of family friends and fun to find out Carnival Catastrophe The Problim Children 2 So delightful Carnival Catastrophe The Problim Children 2 I love the 7 Problim kids They are so amazing From their names to the days of the week to the talent each of them have They are also so loving loyal brave fierce protective smart so determined This one involves a carnival that happens in the town They are still following along the same mission but so much happens in this one we learn so much The twists that happen took me by complete surprise Always love when a book can do that Still all the adventure danger humor focus on family friendships that the 1st book had that I love The 1st book went back forth from Wendell Thea s point of view I m guessing b c they re twins they got one book together This one was from Mona s point of view. EBook Carnival catastrophe adjuster I m always hoping for lol I love Mona She is dark moody devious a prankster in all the best ways She reminds me sort of of Lydia from Beetlejuice in SOME wayslike her aesthetic She can come across as mean but she s not trying to be She doesn t like people thinking she s cruel She learns a lot about others about herself in the book.
