The man who stole the Atlantic Ocean

Thinkbolt told me about this book,
one of his all-time favorite books,
at the first MeetUp I attended,
early this year. He kept telling me
he'd loan his copy to me, but, every
MeetUp, he didn't bring it.

I gave up and thought I'd order a copy
from Half.com. Whew! $117.43 for a
used copy of this book! Perhaps
Thinkbolt was worried about losing
this almost irreplacable book.

No, he did finally bring it along.
I can easily see why he loves this book.
Absolutely delightful, wonderfully clever.

Basic plot: Children insult members of
the Fat Men's Club of Trenton, New Jersey
in their bathing suits at the beach. In
revenge, the fat men team up and steal
the Atlantic Ocean.

I'm watching for a copy that sells somewhere
in my price range. I must have a copy of
this book.
