Here comes Freddy again, and he is in trouble! As he is a new writer and likes to get feedback, Freddy finds trouble on the internet. He posts his story, "Curse of the Weasel", only to be discovered by the evil Professor Fleischkopf - otherwise known as Professor Schmidt. When Mr. John refuses to give the Professor English lessons, the plot begins to thicken. By the end of the story, Freddy is kidnapped. The Professor knows he can hear, understand, and write back to humans - though he cannot speak to us. He then desires to disect Freddy and figure out why he is so brilliant. Freddy's friends cannot allow this to happen! Sir William the cat, the two singing poets - Enrico & Caruso, and some new friends from the sewer, all come to his resue.
I loved this book from the series the most! It was given a rating of "Thumbs Up!!" due to the ease of reading, the mystery and adventure, the illustrations, and the excitement. The author does an excellent job of beginning and ending the books to connect readers to past information and think of new saga's that may occur in the future. This story was fun!
