Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I read this book over and over when I was a kid. It's a great story. However, I have a new appreciation for it now. Given the terrorist threat that we now face, this book was eerily prescient. It deals with sleeper spies and poisoning a town's milk supply, a scenario that is not as far-fetched as it used to be. Somehow, over time, Donald Sobol no longer seems like just a great kid's books author - he seems to have predicted the future.

Little did Ken and his buddies--Orv, Horseshoes, and Bo--know just how exciting their summer was to be. Instead of perfecting a few of Orv's earthshaking inventions (some of which even worked, sometimes), who would have pictured their joining forces with the good guys, Mongoose, in a heroic attempt to foil Cobra's latest nefarious plot? It is not long before V.A.C.U.U.M. (Volunteer Agents Crusading Unsteadily Under Mongoose) is officially born. Add one "Beautiful Assistant Gangbuster," Mary Evans (full title, V.A.C.U.U.M. B.A.G.), a modest fleet of vintage cars and a World War I De Havilland and the fun is about to begin. Donald J. Sobol, author of the popular Encyclopedia Brown books, tickles his reader's curiosity (and funny bone) in this hilarious tale of friendship, ingenuity, and smashing achievement. --This text refers to the Kindle Edition edition.
