Frankie Pickle and the Closet of Doom by Eric Wight is the story of Frankie and his quest to never clean again. Frankie is an incredibly creative boy who turns just about everything he does into an awesome adventure. So, while he has every intention of cleaning his room so he can go hang out with his friend Kenny, he ends up on an exciting quest to save the world from a gigantic robot. That's when he decides (and his mother actually agrees!) that he will not clean his room ever again... it just gets messy again anyway, so what's the point? Everything goes downhill from there, especially when Frankie decides to stop cleaning himself, too! His clothes are stinky, he's stinky, his room even becomes somewhat dangerous! The night Frankie decides to do something about the growing disaster is the night he and his faithful sidekick Argyle (his dog) enter the Closet of Doom for one of the biggest adventures of his life!
I read this awesome adventure with my son. We both absolutely loved it! The story is told through typical (but short!) chapters along with comic book-style text and pictures (sort of like Captain Underpants style). The story was laugh-out-loud hilarious!! The drawings are really cool, too. See my attempt at following the author/illustrator's drawing tutorial in the back of the book on how to draw Frankie, then watch the video to see how Eric Wight actually draws him!
