Attack of the Growing Eyeballs

by Lin Oliver; illustrated by Stephen Gilpin

Daniel "Funkster's Funky Fact # 15: A cockroach can live for nine days without its head before it starves to death."  And Daniel Funk would know because he faced down a hissing cockroach when he was the size of your fourth toe.  Yeah, that's right, Daniel's problem is that he shrinks.  As the only boy in a house full of women, this discovery is way cool.  It's especially exciting when he discovers he has a brother he's never met because Pablo is about an inch tall.  And who would really believe you if you told them you have a miniature twin?  This is the first hilarious and adventurous book in the "Who Shrunk Daniel Funk?" series and continues growing in humorous proportions in the following books.  Look for more adventures in book #2: Escape of the Mini-Mummy and book #3: Revenge of the Itty Bitty Brothers!
