Well, one day a group of evil little boys through eggs at Mr. Kodinski’s shop and Mr. Kodinski believes that Winston and Stewart, and the little girl were the ones that trashed his store.

Personal Rating- 3

The pictures in this book are amazing. I wish the story was better though so that it did the pictures some justice. The book had a good meaning to it, but I found it to be boring.
