Until things begin to go wrong, thirteen-year-old Eleanor Blande had hoped that this would be her best year ever. First her father finds himself without work. Then Levon du Plessy-Minsk, the Creature Catcher, threatens to expose Eleanor's secret to the world. To make matters worse, Eleanor's mother has developed a fear of flying, and her little brother, Solly, has decided to hang up his Googoo-man superhero outfit forever.

When Kaspar Snit finds his way back into Eleanor's life, does the notorious evil genius really want her to help him reform and become a regular person? Or is he the one committing such mean and despicable acts as raiding a birthday party and stealing all the bicycle bells in town? And when a collection of priceless jewels from the country of Verulia goes on exhibit, could anyone other than Kaspar Snit be planning to steal it?

Cary Fagan's enchanting sequel to The Fortress of Kaspar Snit and Directed by Kaspar Snit will have kids laughing out loud as they root for Eleanor and the rest of her flying family.

Reviews for Ten Lessons for Kaspar Snit

Praise for Directed by Kaspar Snit: <br>. . . devious humour and disarming lunacy is a tonic for anyone . . . What makes the story most delightful is Fagan's thoughtfully nutty humour . . . Sheer fun. -- The Toronto Star <br><br>Praise for The Fortress of Kaspar Snit: <br> Replete with evil cackles, this is a read-aloud or read-alone that older elementary students will relish. -- The Bulletin of the Centre of Children's Books
