Do you need a bit more silliness in your life? Would you like it to come along with a healthy dose of family devotion, stick-to-it-iveness, and time travel? Then the newest and last book in Dr. Cuthbert’s fantastic series of books will satisfy.
Third in the Cheeseman family series, No Other Story followed A Whole Nother Story and Another Whole Nother Story to wrap up the story of the Cheeseman family’s adventure through time.
(Mild spoilers below.)
Fortunately, the tale you’ve been aching to have wrapped up for three books now is finally wrapped up. See where the Cheeseman family landed after their escape from the past at the end of the last book. Will they save Olivia, the wife/mother of the group? Since the book isn’t only ten pages long, you know that some shenanigans occur before anything is resolved, however. The majority of those shenanigans occur in a place/time called Some Times, where every time and place seems to coexist. Hilarity and danger ensue. There are dinosaurs, neanderthals, sock puppets, and time machines.
No Other Story by Dr. Cuthbert Soup is a quick fun read with plenty of jokes for grownups thrown in. While the general direction of the storyline is fairly predictable, many parts of the story that you expect to go one way will go another. Or the author will put the characters in a situation that seems impossible to get out of, only to have them get out of it in pure Cheeseman fashion.
No Other Story retails for $16.99. I love this book, and the whole series, and recommend it to families, kids, and grown-ups with a sense of adventure and a sense of humor. You will laugh out loud.
Note: I received a copy of this book for review purposes.
