When someone gets ahold of the Barons’ Wonderful Doppelgänger Device, which allows them to transform into anyone, they use it to land Rose in jail by posing as her to cause a small explosion during the Pitchfork Fair. The dastardly villain then ambushes W.B. and abducts him onto a train bound for the other side of the country. With W.B. out of the way, the imposter replaces him until W.B. returns unexpectedly and exposes the plot. Unfortunately, the deadly duplicate is great at impersonation. To save his skin, W.B. must prove himself by W.B.ing harder than he’s ever W.B.ed before.

"Waldo Baron, W.B. to his family, has two scientists for parents, and they have a workroom attached to their house out in Arizona Territory. He also has a teacher who seems to think students should spend all their time giving oral reports. The bad news for W.B. is that his teacher thinks everything in his reports is from his imagination rather than facts. Can he help it if his parents drag him along in a coast-to-coast flying contest or undersea to look for lost pirate treasure? So he spends a lot of time sitting in the corner and wearing the dunce cap, with the other kids making fun of him. When a new kid comes to town and actually wants to be friends, W.B. can't believe his luck. Readers don't know all of this at the beginning of the book because W.B. starts at the end of the story with an evil twin holding him at gunpoint on the edge of a cliff. When he realizes that his audience probably doesn't understand why he is in that particular situation, he goes back to the beginning of the adventure and starts again.
Filled with eccentric characters, a horse named Geoffrey, exploding pies, and a best friend who affectionately calls him "Wide Butt," W.B.'s life is rather eccentric and one can easily see why his teacher doubts the veracity of his reports. Waldo is an entertaining narrator who cheerfully admits that when his parents start talking about science, 'my brain refuses to listen. It will shut off and play loud, wacky music, usually with a lot of funny sounding horns and an off-key piano." He also comes up with funny observations about life, like "never trust a doctor who sells used shoes on the weekend." Since he is easily distracted by food and doesn't have a lot of experience with other children outside the classroom, he is not sure if his friend Shorty is simply jealous of the new boy from class, or if it is normal for friends to be suspicious of each other at first. Waldo does get the feeling that someone is watching him, but he has hit his head so many times his parents aren't sure if it is paranoia or someone actually spying on the family.
If you enjoy humorous stories with lots of action, clever horses, a cutthroat baking contest, and hobos singing "Camptown Ladies," then pick up this book. Until you read it, you can't imagine all the zany events and characters. And you'll never know why that pie exploded or who the evil twin really is. How will you be able to sleep with questions like that unanswered?
I read an e-book provided by the publisher through NetGalley."

I read an e-book provided by the publisher through NetGalley. - Do you have a child who loves to read or one that just needs to find the right book to fall in love with reading? This book might be the one! Waldo Barron, or W.B. as he likes to be called has inventive, smart parents; he on the other hand falls out of windows and bounces down roads, he is different. Although he isn’t too different than the rest of his wacky family. This book is an adventure within a mystery.
The Wonderful Baron Doppelganer Device is the 3rd volume in the Bizarre Baron Inventions Series. Eric Bower creates a world full of wholesome, entertaining, who-done-it fun, and throws in a hidden lesson to be learned within this adventurous book. I especially loved reading W.B.’s narrative. He fits my “childlike†mind of wackiness and I laughed so much while traveling with him.
The print illustrations are clean, inventive and add to the creation of the characters. Seeing Mrs. Twitchell was a real treat. Out of all the characters we meet, I might have to spill the beans and say, I love WB the best, well until he isn’t himself. Read the book, you’ll see what I mean.
A child up to 12 years old will enjoy this book. The reading level is good for 2nd grade and up. This book would also make a great bedtime story read to older children. Younger kids might get a kick out of Mr. Baron’s horse. This book is just pure, clean fun! - Just because I am 63 doesn't mean I can't read Middle age books. I have read a few of them. I am getting used to the ones with the pictures through the book! I enjoyed this one. Waldo is son of P.(father) and M.(mother). They are through the story. They are inventers!. Rose lives with Waldo's family and is always baking that is always Horrid. Major Spoiler! Father has come up with a dopple--Ganger device. You can turn into people but going back will take you to turn your body will turn into your inside. I had a lot of fun reading this book. I recommend for your Middle and older reader to check out this story. I bet you will enjoy the photos of Agnieszka.You won't regret it! Tell your friends!
- **I received a digital copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.**
The Bizarre Baron Inventions #3 is here! And we couldn't have been more excited. In fact, when I told my oldest I had it, we stopped what we were reading and started on it right away. These books are just fun! They are so silly, and even my youngest stops and listens. He even asked me to read it to him when he was sick!
So yes, this was just as silly and just as much fun. I really can't wait for the next one! - This is such a refreshing book! I really loved it! It's full of adventure and fun. It's clean and contains, as the title suggests, a doppelganger device. Oh, the problems you could have with this device! I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I'd love to read more of them!
It has a style that takes me back to books I loved in my childhood.
My copy came from Net Galley. My thoughts and opinions are my own. This review is left of my own free volition. - This is a really fun book, that makes you smile over and over again as you read it. It features a loving but wacky family, a likable yet greedy hero, a hilarious teacher, a dastardly villain and lots of crazy situations. On a more serious level, it's about sticking up for your family when they are in trouble. I'm looking forward to sharing this with my nine year old.
