From Norvelt to Nowhere by Jack Gantos
2.0
Jack and Miss Volker are back. And so is Mr. Spizz-at least that is what everyone thinks when on Halloween the second to the last original Norvelt lady is killed by eating a poisoned thin mint.
Then Eleanor Roosevelt, the beloved founder of Norvelt, dies and Miss Volker takes Jack on a mission to mourn Ms. Roosevelt and track down Spizz to exact revenge. Unfortunately, this novel is schizophrenic. There are some really funny parts reminiscent of Dead End in Norvelt, but there are also some weird parts that lost me. Too bad. I was really looking forward to this book. 2.5 stars.
