Floors
What's the Story?
Charlie had his chocolate factory. Stanley Yelnats had his holes and Leo has the wacky & amazing Whippet Hotel.
The Whippet Hotel is a strange place full of strange and mysterious people. Each floor has its own quirks and secrets. Leo should know most of them - he is the maintenance man's son, after all. But a whole lot more mystery gets thrown his way when a series of cryptic boxes are left for him . . . boxes that lead him to hidden floors, strange puzzles, and unexpected alliances. Leo had better be quick on his feet, because the fate of the building he loves is at stake . . . and so is Leo's own future!
What's the Buzz?
"...an eccentric hotel filled with wacky inventions and hidden floors? A mysterious disappearance? Ducks that could save the day? Yes, please!" - Lovely Little Things
"I thought this story was AWESOME from the beginning to the end. The Whippet Hotel is just cool (my favorite room is the pinball room) and Mr. Carman’s story really gave me a good idea of what it would be like to live there." - This Kid Reviews Books
"... Floors has to be added to my list of great books that I have read so far this year. It has all the hallmarks of the great Roald Dahl himself. The story is magical, full of charm and most of all, it's full to the rafters with fantastical imagination that will have you racing to the end of the book." - Mr. Ripley's Enchanted Books
"Leo and Remi are good-natured and likable protagonists. The boys act like real children rather than miniature adults, all the while exhibiting great pluck, creativity and independence. While action-packed, the book is also lighthearted and enjoyable." - Kids Reads
I thoroughly enjoyed Carman’s wacky world! The puzzles were just silly enough, the danger just palpable enough. SO much fun! - Kiss the Book
Where Can I Learn More?
Author Patrick Carman loves to experiment with extra online content for books and he's done it again with Floors. Besides a special website for the book series, Carman had added extras you can only access with a code from the book. If you're like me and you don't have the code, there's still plenty to see and do.
