Shrinking, Shrieking and Stinking

Daniel Eagle Funk lives with his three sisters (all named after birds), his mother, his grandmother, and his Great Granny Nanny (who has flame tattoos on her wrist!) - and with a house full of girls what's a boy to do! If only he'd had a brother!

After snacking on some of Granny's goulash, Daniel feels some tingling, some bubbling and then - WHOOSH!- he shrinks! After a narrow escape, he runs nose to nose with a mirror image of himself, then faints. When he comes to, he is back to his normal size, but no one in his family believes him - that is, except for his extraordinary Great Granny Nanny who tells him that shrinking runs in the family. And in fact, he has an identical twin brother, Pablo Picasso Diego Funk, whom he had accidentally met! It turns out that Pablo has always been tiny and Granny found him in Daniel's ear right after he was born!

No one but Granny and Daniel know about Pablo, who has been living in Granny's elaborate tiny art projects, his sister's doll house and wearing the discarded clothes of Daniel's action figures!

With a new tiny twin brother, an unreliable ability to shrink and a big secret to keep from his nosy sisters, Daniel is up to his eyeballs in adventure. Full of burping, smelly socks, hissing cockroaches and lots of adventure, this series is sure to be a hit with the 2nd and 3rd grade boys!
