Mrs. Bean’s long-lost older brother Aaron Doty comes to the Bean farm to visit her and to collect his share of a large inheritance, which, if the Beans give it to him, will ruin the farm. Freddy is sure that Mr. Doty isn’t who he says he is, and when Mr. Garble comes back to town, Freddy knows something is up. But Freddy must also go to high school so that he can play football in the big game between Centerboro and Tushville.
I love the way Freddy always gets himself into problems like this. Rest assured, though. Freddy is still the pig from the previous books and always manages to get out of them.

Edmund and Lucy aren’t pleased when they have to visit their bratty cousin Eustace, but things brighten up considerably when they find their way into Narnia once more. Caspian, now a king, has embarked on a quest to find the seven lords his evil uncle banished. The good ship Dawn Treader takes them far in their search, but some of them, Reepicheep particularly, desire to sail on to the End of the World.
A good book, if not my favorite in the chronicles. Eustace’s story adds a nice touch.

Mr. Boomschmidt, the circus owner, is in a quandary and a dilemma. So he calls on Freddy to help him out of it. Mr. Boomschmidt explains that when Mademoiselle Rose, the horseback rider, refused to marry Mr. Condiment, the sour-faced comic book publisher, Mr. Condiment threatened to close down the circus—forcing Rose to marry him for money. Since then, he’s been doing all sorts of things to stop the show, the newest of which is dive-bombing the circus in a plane. Freddy must summon up all of his detective skills in order to solve this growing dilemma.
This is one of the best Freddy books! Freddy gets to use some of his sidesplitting disguises, and with Sniffy Wilson, the skunk, and his family pretending to be Robin Hood and his Merry Men, the results are hilarious!
