BOOK: Those dard Dithers by Hite

[Frederick Muller <fmuller@TELLURIAN.NET>]

Hite, Sid._Those darn Dithers_,1996 [0440-22671-6] Laurel-Leaf
This is the second of two books about the zany Dithers family. It
contains a huge collection of unusual people (there is a kind of
family tree in the front of the book) who get involved in all sorts of
misadventures.  We have four plots running within the book: a girl
and her horse going to perform in a wild west show, some kids
trying to put together a variety show in a barn, a mysterious lady
building a invention to contact the spirit world, and a man writing a
book.  I found the book to have too many characters all involved in
too many things. While it is quite humorous, I did not care for this
one. It is a complete story but maybe I lost some of the charm by
not getting the first book (it is no longer available.)  This 184 page
book reminded me a little of the Bagthorpes though not nearly as
good and not British.
