Publisher Description

Logan and his friend Benedict run into the wrong guy at the library--literally. When Logan slams into the reference guy in the basement and gives him a little lip, Logan gets punished, really and truly punished. He has three days to complete three tasks before Professor Wordsworth will lift the magical punishment that keeps getting Logan in even more trouble.

"I thought that this was a really fun and clever book. Logan is punished by an older man for running in the library. Everything that Logan says comes out in puns and his friends and family quickly get tired of that. In order to get back to normal, Logan has to find examples of anagrams, oxymorons, and palindromes for this older man. The book is so much fun that kids won't even realize that they are learning some great lessons."
