(4) 4-6 Eighth-grader Bertie must guard two things from his "mortal enemy," Nick: his assigned flour-sack "baby" and his secret culinary ambitions. The gastronomic premise is not as developed as it could have been, but Bertie's zany parents contribute to the novel's over-the-top hilarity, while Bertie himself narrates the fast-paced comedy with plenty of zingy one-liners.
