Review: Home Sweet Motel

Home Sweet Motel by Chris Grabenstein
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Chris Grabenstein has become one of my favorite authors and this first book in his wonderland series is no exception.
This book had me laughing with the corny jokes that were part of his character's personality. I love how he develops characters. They are always so believable and you can easily imagine what they look and act like. All of the main and minor characters are so well-fleshed out, from the crabby history teacher to the protagonists. If you met a character more than once you got a real sense of who they were. That is a real accomplishment as far as I am concerned.

Home sweet motel, tells the story of a family owned beachfront hotel, that the bank is trying to take over. The family needs to come up with $100,000 in 30 days in order to keep the hotel and hungry investors are eyeing the prime spot of real estate. Young P T and his business minded friend Gloria are successfully trying to raise money , but are met with obstacles that force them to stop their business ventures. When they learn that there is a way to earn $150,000 they go for it, even when faced with career criminals and very annoying adults. Will they save the day and the motel they both call home? It is a wonderful ride!
