Alvin Fernald\u2019s \u201cMagnificent Brain\u201d has a life of its own. In fact, somehow or other it has come up with the winning grand prize recipe in a candy-making contest\u2014and no one, including Alvin, can figure out quite how it happened. Now, as guests of the Kitchenmate Appliance Company, Alvin, his friend Shoie, and his sister Daphne (\u201cThe Pest\u201d) take off for a whirlwind tour of Europe. Having just come to the edge of flunking a class in economics (Magnificent Brain, where were you?), Alvin is about to be given a practical\u2014and perilous\u2014lesson in international trade.
\nMystery, ingenuity\u2014and, well bicycles\u2014hilariously collide in this next book about Alvin by the former editor of Popular Mechanics Magazine, Clifford B.
