Time travel, villains, pirates, imposters and a hairless and psychic fox terrier; what does it all mean? It's just part of the second title in a three-book series by Dr. Cuthbert Soup. The story of scientist Ethan Cheeseman and his "three smart, polite and relatively odor-free children" first told in "A Whole Nother Story," continues in the second book titled "Another Whole Nother Story."
The Cheeseman family travels back in time to 1668 and find themselves in colonial America. They come into contact with a girl from a native tribe named Big and her not-pet fox named Dig. They also must deal with a pair of men who followed them from the future, witch hunters, Dutch rulers who may or not be the real Duke of Jutland and an evil pirate by the name of the Mailman.
This book is full of unsolicited advice from Dr. Cuthbert Soup on such subjects as Resisting Pierce Pressure, Advice for Explorers Everywhere and Psychic Powers. Readers everywhere will be thrilled and amazed at the feats the family, their friends and their foes attempt in an effort to set things right, or wrong as the case may be, with the world. The third and final title in this amazing series is titled "No Other Story."
I was provided with a free Advanced Reader Copy of this book from the publisher.

Starting where the first book left off, Ethan Cheeseman and his three smart, polite, and relatively odor-free children are traveling back in time to the year 1668 to stop an ancient family curse and save their mother.
To do so, they'll need the help of a group of misfit circus performer/pirates to return a cursed goblet to its rightful owner, the ruler of Denmark. Easy, right? Wrong. Their landing in 1668 is nothing short of bumpy, and the time machine needs repairs. To succeed in stopping the curse and repairing the machine, the misfits set out to restore the goblet while the Cheesmans fix their ride home.
The situation only gets worse when the family's archenemy reappears to destroy them. Having thought they left him tied up in the back of a school bus for police, the family doesn't recognize the now 15 years older - and more cunning - Mr. Five, Mrs. Cheeseman's murderer. Well-disguised as an assistant to a friend and former professor of Ethan's, he is in the perfect place to carry out his unknown dastardly plans.
Will the Cheesemans break the curse? Will they figure out who Mr. Five is before it's too late?
ANOTHER WHOLE NOTHER STORY is a funny, quick read for fans of time travel tales and action-adventure stories. The characters are well-developed and even more charming than in the first book. The plot is well-developed and fairly fast-paced.
With a sock puppet that says funny, sometimes impolite comments; a really cute tour guide who causes the oldest male Cheeseman child, Chip, to constantly make a fool of himself; and other antics that readers will never expect, this book is a great addition to any collection. Just make sure to read A WHOLE NOTHER STORY first.
