Fans of Angleberger's previous efforts won't be disappointed.Ī smart kid foils big-time thieves in the nation’s capital-and joins the FBI. There's plenty of action and goofiness with very little room for explanations. Narration is shared by Lenny, a nerdy everyman hero, and Jodie, a thinly disguised Hannah Montana. Only Lenny and the real Jodie O'Rodeo seem immune from his mesmeric spell, so it's up to them to stop Fako's grab for presidential power! Angleberger severs all ties with sanity in his latest farce for preteens with hilarious results. Then Fako Mustacho, businessman-about-town appears and holds the town of Hairsprinkle in his thrall. Both groups are led by a mysterious, short suited man with a mustache. Billions are stolen by, first, a gang of strolling accordion players and then a bunch of school librarians. Then Casper, whose hippie parents never buy anything unnecessary, gets a wad of cash from his grandmother, and he uses it to purchase a man-about-town suit and the very expensive Heidelberg Handlebar Number Seven (a real-hair fake mustache). leads a mild-mannered life hanging out with his best friend, Casper, and watching repeats of the now-cancelled Jodie O'Rodeo Showdeo with his parents and sisters (he will never admit that he likes it). Can one nerdy teen keep a tuft of fake lip-hair from realizing its dream of world domination?
