Alvin Fernald takes on Europe

When Alvin "invents" a new candy by accident, he and his two main companions, the Pest(his sister) and Shoie(his best friend) win an expense paid trip to Europe with president of Kitchenmate Appliances. Trouble starts even before take off when Alvin discovers a man in a closet claiming to be a photographer for Kitchenmate, but no one knows who this intruder is. This man is after something and thinks Alvin has it. So, across Europe he dogs Alvin. In the mean time the kids are having the time of their lives even though there is a cloud of uncertainty with the mysterious Mr. X(the intruder guy). I just re-read this book and enjoyed it a lot. I especially liked the PR guy(Bixby) who kept trying to make rhyming slogans.
