Eleven-year-old P. T. Wilkie may be the greatest storyteller alive. But he knows one thing for a fact: the Wonderland Motel is the best place a kid could ever live! All-you-can-eat poolside ice cream! A snack machine in the living room! A frog slide! A giant rampaging alligator! (Okay, that last one may or may not be made up.) Thereâs only one thing the Wonderland doesnât have, thoughâcustomers. And if the Wonderland doesnât get them soon, P.T. and his friend Gloria may have to say goodbye to their beloved motel forever.
Â
They need to think BIG. They need to think BOLD. They need an OUTRAGEOUS plan. Luckily for them, Gloria is a business GENIUS, and OUTRAGEOUS is practically P.T.âs middle name. With Gloriaâs smarts and P.T.âs world-famous stories and schemes, thereâs got to be a way to save the Wonderland!
Â
BONUS: Includes fun extras like P. T. Wilkieâs outrageous (and sometimes useful) things you learn living in a motel. Installment 1: How to say âHelp! The toilet is clogged!â in over twenty languages!
