The Victor Shmud, Total Expert Series - Book 1
Let’s Do a Thing!
“Johnny Heller gives an out-of-this-world performance as the imaginative and intrepid Victor Shmud. Jim Benton, author of the Franny K. Stein and Dear Dumb Diary series, brings more outrageous fun with his new child protagonist, whom Heller entertainingly portrays with vivid animation. Heller combines childlike innocence and silliness with a debonair sophistication to convey Victor’s unique blend of confidence and charm, especially when he’s sweet-talking his teacher, Mrs. Nozzleburp. A dignified British accent for the alien captain that kidnaps Victor, after confusing him for a strategy expert, is just one of the many humorous voices Heller provides to the melange of oddball characters. This short and fun listening experience is a definite thing to do. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones.”

A new series from the bestselling author of Dear Dumb Diary and Franny K. Stein!
Victor Shmud has been many things: Knuckle Doctor, a Hunter of Ghost Bears, a Tattoo Artist, The Guy At The Restaurant That Puts The Sugar In Those Little Envelopes, a Computer Scientist, an Octopus Wrestler, and a Wedding Planner. In fact, he’s been nearly everything (definitely not A Guy Who Cleans Up Bedrooms yet). But his newest gig is beautifuller (yes, that’s a word. He’s also a Licensed Wordmaker). He can make anyone gorgeous, with a gob of his beauty treatment (complete with Mustard Molecules). But before he can work his beautifuller magic, he’s vaporized (along with his associate, the very fluffy Dumpylumps) by a video game. Will Victor ever get back to Earth? Also, is it someone’s birthday…and will there be cupcakes?
