Reasons not to read this book:
You think kids who are Racecar Drivers
and Secret Agents are boring
Aunts disguised as Uncles give you an earache
You get hives when you read about a bad guy with Half a Face
Backward words and Anagrams give you gas
You're afraid you might split a gut Laughing

At the very same moment, Otto's Aunt FooFoo was backing an ice-cream truck out of the garage. Aunt FiFi was next to her in the passenger seat, and Otto was passed out in the back. It was the first time he had slept in a week. He had gotten a letter from his parents that said he should keep his eye out for signs of his first mission as a secret agent, and he had been afraid to close it and miss something.
As FooFoo pulled onto the highway,FiFi broke thesilence with her vocal exercises, which consisted of shrieking the note of A-flat over and over. It was the only note she knew.
Otto sprang up, smashing his head on the roof of the truck. His heart was pumping, his eye was oozing, and his head hurt like crazy.
"Did I miss anything?" asked Otto, sitting straight up in the backseat.
"Only all of August and half of September," said FiFi.
"What?!" said Otto.
"She's kidding," said FooFoo. "Aren't you?"
"Beats me," said FiFi.
Otto checked his watch. No days had passed. He'd been asleep for 61/4 hours.
"Where are we going?" asked Otto.
"We're taking you to the beach, Ottie. Your mind is mush, and you need a vacation," said Aunt FooFoo.
Suddenly Otto was fully awake.
"Stop the car!" he screamed. "I'm calling a meeting."
