People all over Flinkwater are losing their memoriesâand itâs up to Ginger to figure out whatâs going onâin this sequel to the âquirky, dryly funnyâ (Booklist) The Flinkwater Factor from National Book Awardâwinning author Pete Hautman.
Absentmindedness in Flinkwater, a town overflowing with eccentric scientists and engineers, is nothing new. Recently, however, the number of confused, forgetful citizens has been increasing, and no one seems to know why. Ginger Crump figures itâs none of her business. She has her own problems. Like the strange cat thatâs been following her aroundâa cat that seems to be able to read. And the report for school due Monday. And the fact that every digital book in Flinkwater has been vandalized by a fanatical censor, forcing Ginger to the embarrassingly retro alternative of reading books printed on dead trees.
But when Gingerâs true love and future husband Billy Bates completely forgets who she is, things suddenly get serious, and Ginger swings into action.
