Overview / 简介: |
| Gr. 5-8. Willy Wilson, last seen in The Gorillas of Gill Park (2003), returns to the city of Gloria, where he has inherited Gill Park from his elderly friend, Otto Pettingill. Willy finds Gloria the perfect fit; he loves the city and the eccentric school he attends. He discovers, however, that taking care of the park is not easy. Vandalism is an ongoing problem, and developers continue to cast greedy eyes at the property. At the story's center is a mystery: Willy and his friends follow clues left behind by Mr. Pettingil, with a promised treasure at the end of the hunt. Gordon once again serves up a lively collection of eccentric characters cast into a puzzle with multiple strands. Those who haven't read the earlier book may find themselves confused at times, but the sheer goofiness and exuberance of the story are bound to create more fans of Willy and his exploits. |

| Grade 4-6-Eccentric, deceased millionaire Otto Pettingill left Willy Wilson a community space complete with fountains, baseball fields, and assorted eclectic denizens in The Gorillas of Gill Park (Holiday House, 2003). Here, the boy discovers that public places are difficult to maintain. A band of blue-masked hooligans, led by his rival, Dillon Deronda, has been vandalizing the park and it's up to Willy and his friends to stop them. Meanwhile, he has moved in with his aunt, is attending a rigorous alternative school, and is participating in community theater. Willy also finds himself on a treasure hunt set up by his late benefactor. To understand the clues, he must get to know the Deronda family and obtain Dillon's help. Gordon picks up Willy's story without a bump or a jolt and carries it along with the same good-natured flair exhibited in the earlier title. Kids who like mysteries and oddball characters will find much to love in this amusing sequel. |
