THE TRANSMOGRIFICATION OF ROSCOE WIZZLE by David Elliot

  

REVIEW: Roscoe's mom is an orphan who loves surprises and his dad works at testing cymbals all day long.  They usually trade off making dinner, tuna surprise and mashed potatoes, but when Gussy's comes to town his parents decide to let him eat there.  Roscoe ends up eating there every night for six months.  One day he discovers that something strange has been happening to him.  He has been going through transmogrification.  He's changing into a bug.  Roscoe and his friend Kinchy decide to investigate his transmogrification and the disappearance of two other children who also were changing.  Their investigation leads them to the kitchen of Gussy's early one morning and health code violations on a grand scale.  Unfortunately, Roscoe is caught and taken to the same location as the other two kidnap victims.  Who will come to his rescue?  Is he doomed to be a bug forever?  And what's up with the Cecil Geed and his car horn?  To find out you'll have to read the book.
OPINION: This was another quick read.  Because it is a fairly easy book and funny, it would be good for reluctant readers.  It was a cute book.
