Krensky Pulls it Off Again!

"Arthur and the Nerves of Steal" is another great novelization of the show. In this book, Stephen Krensky successfully adapts a rather dodgy story about Buster stealing something called a "CyberToy." Buster wants the toy so badly that he drops into Arthur's backpack when no one is looking. He then becomes paranoid and faces a moral dilemma as to what to do with it. As things grow worse, it seems there's only one choice. Krensky once again adds in new details and dialogue, as well as great pictures. Another fine addition to the series.
