Secrets of Dripping Fang, Book Six:
Attack of the Giant Octopus by Dan
Greenburg
Very Good Books
After Wallys brush with death by insulin shock (a lesser-known means of
assassination, for sure), he and Cheyenne are more determined than ever
to stop the Ont Queen and her millions of minions from enslaving the
human race and ending life on Earth as we know it. But how can two
orphans overthrow an entire army of freakishly massive ants? And further,
how do we know that the Ont Queen wont resort to even more creepy and
unusual methods to try to exterminate Wally once and for all?
Well, these two scrawny kids have managed to survive this long, havent
they? They might just make it through one more book.

Personal Review: Secrets of Dripping Fang, Book Six: Attack of
the Giant Octopus by Dan Greenburg
Ever since Wally Shluffmuffin accidentally killed Ont Dagmar Mandible and
several Ont babies he has been a marked man, errr...boy. The Onts have
hired a hit man called the Jackal (a real jackal, of course) to kill Wally. The
Jackal failed once, but he has a seemingly fail-proof plan - he will trick
Wally into wrestling a giant octopus. Wally's twin sister Cheyenne has her
own set of problems - she has been hypnotized by the Onts and is being
forced to teach etiquette lessons to a class of mutant human/Ont children.
Their Vampire Dad has his own worries - it seems that no one is willing to
hire a man with wings and sharp teeth.
"Attack of the Giant Octopus", book six in Dan Greenburg's delightful
"Secrets of Dripping Fang" series, is a lot of fun. Aimed at ages 7 - 12,
everything in the book is over the top and very funny. One of the funniest
bits in the book is how everyone keeps mangling the Shluffmuffin's last
name. Other funny bits include Wally and Cheyenne attending a school
filled with rather unusual children; Vampire Dad's job interviews; Edgar
Spydelle's pouting over the fact that the children want to live with their
vampire father instead of him; and Cheyenne's teaching the human/Ont
children. Even Wally's encounter with the octopus is very funny (a little
scary, but mostly funny). There are some interesting facts about the
octopus woven into the story, so children will learn while reading. Pay
close attention to the chapter titles and illustrations as they also add to the
humor.
"Attack of the Giant Octopus" is fun for young and old alike.
