Dangerologist Dr. Noel Zone (Danger Is Everywhere; Danger Is Still Everywhere) is forced to take over for the school chef--a terrifying prospect as schools are full of awful dangers such as "bookvalanches" and animals disguised as new students. Although obsessed with safety, our hero is quite a menace, causing myriad riotous situations over the course of the funny but frenetic third episode.

In this sequel to Danger Is Everywhere, dangerologist Noel Zone dispenses more safety advice--e.g., why you should substitute a "shy five" for a "high-five" and how to detect the "crocuum," a crocodile camouflaged as a vacuum cleaner. The frenetic page design will challenge some readers, but a pet-related plot helps tie everything together, and the zany humor will deliver plenty of laughs.

Dr. Noel Zone is an expert on avoiding danger, and he conveys ludicrously "helpful" advice, such as how to determine if your granny is actually a robot in disguise and how to avoid Vikings who may be impersonating folk musicians. O'Doherty's zany ideas are laugh-out-loud funny, but less adept readers may get a bit lost as the book jumps from topic to topic.
