Now Fisher can stay home and work on his own experiments while his clone suffers the torment at school.

Will the evil Dr. X ruin all Fisher’s plans - well you take a guess?

Why I love this book:
This book is just plain fun. I had to read it when I saw that Castle’s other two books were Cloneward Bound and Game of Clones. There is plenty of humor in this story, coupled with lots of action which keeps the story moving nicely.

Fisher is a likable character and you are rooting for him the whole time. I like that Fisher finds his courage but doesn’t abandon who he is, even if that means he won’t be the most popular kid in school.
Who this book is for:
Kids who like Genius Files and Science Fair will find this book a home run. Because of the humor and action, kids who are reluctant readers will find a lot to like in this story.
