He only has the chance to grab one box before his mom catches him and orders him in for dinner, though. When mysterious goings-on begin to occur in the neighborhood, the trio investigates the hidden box from Jack's garage. In it, they find the Secret Parent's Handbook and with it all the means to subvert the irrational rules and petty tyranny of their home lives. No more clean rooms  No more vegetables  No more brushed hair or washed hands  It's all videogames and junk food all the time  But the authorities -- and the resistance -- have taken notice of the strange goings-on in Jack and his friends' neighborhood. And they are closing in . . .\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJim Benton is an award-winning author and artist.
