When the town council threatens to close down Bowl-a-Rama, best friends Ouchie and Squishie team up to save the alley and protect its owner from a mysterious psycho-clown. Gutman's latest book won't top any scales on character development or plot complexity, but it definitely fits the bill for a light, fast-paced, suspenseful read that reluctant readers will enjoy.
