Free Bubble In The Bathtub (Doctor Proctor's Fart Powder) Ebooks Online
The Fart Powder was such a successful invention that Doctor Proctor, Nilly, and Lisa couldn’t stop there. Next up: a time-travelling bathtub. You just hop in, lather up the Time Soap, and wish for where you’d like to go. Doctor Proctor has plans for this new invention. You see, he lost his true love years ago, when Juliette Margarine married an evil count. The good Doctor has never quite gotten over this, and he's going back to change it. But when things go wrong, it's up to Nilly and Lisa to travel back in time to right all wrongs and reunite the two lovebirds. Nothing is quite so simple in a Jo Nesbo book. Enter a herd of hippos, a scheming assistant, and Time Soap that keeps going awry, sending Nilly and Lisa to the storming of the Bastille! Fortunately, as in every Jo Nesbo book, the Fart Powder solves everything.

Reason for Reading: Next in the series.Lisa and Nilly receive a postcard from Doctor Proctor in Paris, France with an 1888 French stamp on it. The card is written in code. When they have figured out the message, they realise Dr. Proctor has gone back in history to rescue his beloved Juliette Margarine and now he needs their help. So the two pack a few supplies including a baggie of Fart Powder, jump in the bathtub and set off for Paris 1888. Things get mixed up and Nilly and Lisa end up in separate places and the two of them travel through French history sometimes meeting up with Doctor Proctor or Juliette Margarine. They visit an early Tour de France race, Joan of Arc, Napoleon, the Battle of Waterloo and Gustave Eiffel. But all the while they are being tracked by Dr. Proctor's former assistant, now evil, who wishes revenge against him.I enjoyed this story and thought it was fun. I enjoyed the historical sidetracks and the tongue in cheek jokes about the historical figures. The book has various big humor scenes and Nilly and Lisa are a pleasure, just as they were in the first book. However, I do have some issues with this second book in the series. Both books are recommended by the publisher for ages 8-12 and the first book is certainly within that age range and would even make a great read aloud for ages 5-7. This book, however, is written for a different audience. The older end of the age range, say 10-12. The silly goofy humour is more subtle and not so obvious, if one doesn't know who the historical figures are or about the time periods the fun is going to be lost on the reader and finally, the grown-up love story between Doctor Proctor and Juliette Margarine (while very low key) is going to turn off some boy readers.
