Books like The Dreadful Future of Blossom Culp

This is the third book of Peck's Bluff City books, starring the fabulous Blossom Culp. It's also the weakest of the four. Though there are some wonderfully humorous scenes, highlighting Peck's fine comic writing, the plot and character development mostly made me scratch my head. This book, and the major characters, really needed some development before this book was written. The book had several great possibilities, mostly unrealized. This book does, however, give Madame Culp more stage time and develops her character slightly more than the preceding books. Which was, you know, pretty darn awesome.
