Grade 4-6 Line your Henry Reed fans up for an up-to-date '80s adventure. Looking for a project that requires no investment, Henry takes a suggestion from his Uncle Al and, with his friend, Midge, forms a think tank. Their first client is an overweight neighbor, Rodney, looking for a way to gain the approval of his athletic dad. While they are pondering Rodney's plight, Deirdre appears, complaining that her allowance is much too small when her father could easily afford more. Twins Willy and Betsy seek relief from the health food regime that their mother has enthusiastically imposed. Also, a busy grandmother asks them to entertain her 16-year-old pseudo-sophisticate granddaughter for three days. The humor is up to Robertson's best, and even better; the solutions to the problems are realistic and clever, except perhaps for the health food dilemma which solves itself with a "Prince Charming" sort of tale. Although, sadly, McCloskey's illustrations are missing from this fifth in the Henry Reed series, the book stands on its own. It will be enjoyed by Henry's fans and will probably make some new ones.
