Not bad
"The plan was simple. Ethan Cheeseman, along with his three smart, polite, and relatively odor-free children, would travel back in time to end an ancient family curse and save their mother. Now that the LVR (a super-secret time machine) is in working order, it should be easy peasy. Except they didn't account for one basic rule of science: Murphy's Law, where everything that possibly could go wrong, does. So the Cheeseman family finds themselves on another madcap adventure, this time through stormy seas and haunted castles. And though their narrator, Dr. Soup, has a ton of unsolicited advice to offer young readers, he doesn't have much to say to help the Cheesemans. Just this one thing: Good luck!"

this sequel to "A Whole Nother Story" carries the story further, this time with a trip back to 1668. A teenage love interest is introduced and although Steve the sock puppet met his timely demise at the end of book one, never fear! Rat-face/No-face/Gravy-face Roy is here! More zany hi-jinks ensue! I'm not sure it was quite as funny as the first one, but it's possible that I just got used to his style of humor. Still had a few laugh-out-loud moments and I'd happily read Yet Another Whole Nother Story.

Another Whole Nother Story is about a scientist, his three children, their dog, and a boatload of other characters and their adventures after having traveled through time to 1668. Mainly a comedic action story, the book also manages to sneak in some educational material, about history, language, physics, and pretty much everything.
The bright cover, comic like drawings, and the name of the author pretty much guaranteed that I would read this book. (How can you not read something written by "Dr. Cuthbert Soup"?) The writing style is tongue-in-cheek, matter of fact, and appealing.
This is obviously the second in a series, following the previous book "A Whole Nother Story" which I have not read. And the ending indicates a follow up story, leaving the reader with the line, "But that, my friends, is a whole nother story." However, the action and exposition in this story enable it to be read as a stand alone; if you can overlook the fact that you are in the middle of a larger story.

A children's story about a father (Mr. Cheeseman) and his 3 relatively odor-free children, who are traveling through time to eliminate a curse and save their mother. It's a humorous, tongue-in-cheek work that is fun for young children, as well as those with a young spirit.

Ages 10+ a bit more science-fictiony than the first in the series, simply due to the time travel component but still primarily regular juvenile fiction once you get past that.

Another great story. To the addition of Ethan Cheeseman and his three children now Chip, Teddy, and Penny add more hijinks form the group of pirates met in the first book and their voyage to the Duke to return the white gold chalice. There is love and adventure and loss. At the end we are still searching for Olivia, but that is a whole nother story...

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Another fun, clever installment in the adventures of the Cheeseman family! I liked this one just as much as the first one.

Not quite as funny and absurd as the first, but still a lot of fun. I found I actually would have preferred more of the "Unsolicited Advice" newsletters between the chapters.
