Andrew the ten-year-old inventor has done it again. He has created a new machine that will help save the Earth. He has named his latest invention The Goa Constructor which stands for Garbage Goes Away. Andrew created the Goa to keep the world from being buried in garbage by shrinking it down to tiny specks. The only problem is while testing it Andrew does not shrink any garbage but only himself and his twelve-year-old cousin Judy. Likely Andrew always keeps Thudd, his best friend in his pocket. Thudd's name stands for The Handy Ultra-Digital Detective and he is super smart and has helped Andrew and Judy out of many unusual situations. This time it is different as Andrew and Judy find themselves in their Uncle Al's blood stream. Now their biggest challenge is to find a safe way out of their uncle's body safely and without causing him an infection. This is the latest edition of the "Andrew Lost" series and it is so much fun and informative all at the same time. Readers will not be able to put this book down. Reviewer: Laura J. Brown
