He Laughed With His Other Mouths

In the sixth and final Pals in Peril tale that “offers adventure, wit, and heart” (Booklist), Jasper Dash is off into the universe to search for his long-lost father!

In this action-packed conclusion to the celebrated Pals in Peril series, Jasper Dash soars to unprecedented heights—as in, intergalactic, out-of-this-world dimensions—in order to locate the father he’s never known. And if Jasper’s previous adventures are any indication, this is going to be one stellar expedition!

He Laughed with His Other Mouths is “layered, beautiful, smart, and achingly funny. In a word, brilliant” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review).
