A top secret mission? A terribly rude monkey with personal boundary and hygiene issues?

Baron, when his clever inventor parents are hired to go on a secret treasure hunt. The Baron family dives into adventure with their steam-powered submarine, but they aren't prepared for the complications that occur during their trip, which include shark attacks, deep sea diving mishaps, and even a pirate's curse, all of which W.B. is lucky enough to discover, one stumble, trip, and fall at a time. Trade Review"The Splendid Baron Submarine is a summer adventure story full of unexpected danger and wacky surprises, and is funny from its first page to its last. It is delightfully absurd, imaginative, and fun-a wonderful book for middle-school children to read on their own, and an even better book for families to read aloud together."
