The Gollywhopper Games by Jody Feldman

3.0

While the premise of the Gollywhopper Games was intriguing (children compete in a toy manufacturer's contest) the plot was flat for me. I wish that the author described the marvelous, over-the-top settings in the factory better, and the mystery surrounding a recent theft in the factory was not that mysterious...
The author admits in the afterword that she set out to create a book like Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, I wish this wasn't so obvious.
