People all over Flinkwater are losing their memoriesand its up to Ginger to figure out whats going onin this sequel to the quirky, dryly funny (Booklist) The Flinkwater Factor from National Book Awardwinning 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 its none of her business. She has her own problems. Like the strange cat thats been following her arounda 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 Gingers true love and future husband Billy Bates completely forgets who she is, things suddenly get serious, and Ginger swings into action.
