Publisher Description
It all begins with a train rushing through the night. On board, twins Joe and Nancy begin a quest to rescue their parents. Along the way, they will encounter mad scientists, a talking pig, creatures from another dimension, several bad knock-knock jokes, plenty of explosions, a whole army of villains and varmints, and shape-shifting Eggy-Things. Figuring out who is friend and who is foe is the least of the twins’ problems as they piece together the body parts of a Top-Secret Robot who, when complete, will help to reunite their family.
A collaboration between the National Children’s Book and Literacy Alliance and the Library of Congress’s Center for the Book, the hilarious Exquisite Corpse Adventure originated as a national literacy project for young people to help launch the READ.gov website.

"The narrator does an excellent performance with this fun title. Another one where you have to pay attention or you won't know what the heck happened."

" The story started off a little rocky, but it pulled together. I most enjoyed the way each author carried on with the plot in their own unique voice. "

" I REMEMBER WHEN THIS CAME OUT! I READ IT ONLINE, EVERY WEEK THAT IT WAS RELEASED! ASDFGHJKL! "

" Quite silly. Jon Scieszka's opening chapter is too much! The others that followed did a great job picking up all the pieces tossed out there by him. However, my favorite chapters were written by Lemony Snicket. "

" Used this as a read aloud at school with many of the activities. Most of the kids really loved it. They loved Boppo the clown. Illustrations were cool too. Great project! "
