The Field of Wacky Inventions was a decent conclusion to the trilogy.  It has the same problem the other two books had.  There are way too many characters to keep track of.  But that quibble aside, the adventure was fun and engaging.  I though that Lucy was a nice mirror image to Leo.  And the inclusion of dinosaurs took me by surprise.  It's definitely for lovers of whimsy.

I thoroughly enjoyed this trilogy. My only complaint is that Remi's weight is brought up a lot. When I was a kid, reading stuff like that made me really self-conscious.

Cute enough, but it didn't really add much to the trilogy. I wanted there to be a whole lot more about the field of wacky inventions itself and what Merganzer T. Whippet was able to create there rather than a silly competition that really wasn't much of an adventure at all compared to the previous two.

I did love Phil the tiny t-rex, though. Hard to top that fun.

Fun. Not as intricate as the first two, but still fun.

My thoughts on this book were pretty similar to what I thought of the first two books, but all the problems I had with them, seemed to grow in this final book. There was a whole new cast of characters that I didn't get attached to, and everything was ridiculously random. Also, I felt like one of the characters was added just so that there could be a tiny bit of romance at the very end, and I thought that was completely unnecessary.
