Since Dave Barry writes about weird things, you might be tempted to think he has a weird brain. He does, of course, but that's not the whole explanation: A lot of the things he writes about-exploding Pop-Tarts, for example-are real.

Description
One summer morning while Aidan and Sarah are visiting their grandfather, they discover a secret compartment in his battered wooden desk.

At the bottom of the page is a verse about Peter and a...
