Product Description
Alvin Fernald's "Magnificent Brain" has a life of its own. In fact, somehow or other it has come up with the winning grand prize recipe in a candy-making contest---and no one, including Alvin, can figure out quite how it happened. Now, as guests of the Kitchenmate Appliance Company, Alvin, his friend Shoie, and his sister Daphne ("The Pest") take off for a whirlwind tour of Europe. Having just come to the edge of flunking a class in economics (Magnificent Brain, where were you?), Alvin is about to be given a practical---and perilous---lesson in international trade. Mystery, ingenuity---and, well bicycles---hilariously collide in this next book about Alvin by the former editor of Popular Mechanics Magazine, Clifford B. Hicks.

| When Alvin "invents" a new candy by accident, he and his two main companions, the Pest(his sister) and Shoie(his best friend) win an expense paid trip to Europe with president of Kitchenmate Appliances. Trouble starts even before take off when Alvin discovers a man in a closet claiming to be a photographer for Kitchenmate, but no one knows who this intruder is. This man is after something and thinks Alvin has it. So, across Europe he dogs Alvin. In the mean time the kids are having the time of their lives even though there is a cloud of uncertainty with the mysterious Mr. X(the intruder guy). I just re-read this book and enjoyed it a lot. I especially liked the PR guy(Bixby) who kept trying to make rhyming slogans. | | | Write your own review about Alvin Fernald, Foreign Trader (Secret Panel Mysteries)
