A thanks to Peachtree Publishing for letting me participate in this blog tour.
As the father of three girls I am always looking for books that have appeal to all of them. Brain Full of Holes is just such a book. Between the three of them they have interests that range from humor to young adult relationship issues to mysteries. Chatterton’s novel delivers on all three accounts.
What makes this book such a fun read is the “Brain” from the title: Theophilus Nero Hercule Sherlock Wimsey Father Brown Marlowe Spade Christie Edgar Allen Brain. (Aside: It is this sort of wink and a nod that Chatterton infuses throughout the novel that makes this a delightful read for the 42 year old father as well. Pop culture references abound that kept me turning the pages even when they weren’t around.)
But, back to The Brain. Along with his sidekick, Sheldon, and a 14 year old beauty named Helga they set out to find Helga’s father who has inexplicably gone missing. Without giving away too much of the investigation they also have to determine why the Swiss cheese no longer has holes and other wacky happenings.
This book is a fun read and highly recommended for pre-teens and younger teens as well. For that matter, this adult looks forward to reading more exploits from Sheldon and The Brain.
