About This Book
Only Dilly can save the world.
Dilly McBean's the luckiest kid in the world. He's a millionaire. He's on his own. He's got a neat dog. And he's magnetic. He can make metal things do whatever he wants.
There's just one problem. A mad scientist is out to get him. And lots of creepy spies, too. Looks like Dilly's secrets aren't so secret anymore.
Dr. Keenwit wants to rule the world...with Dilly's help. Will his evil ways succeed? Or will Dilly, his friend Jessica, a karate queen, and a great big bulldozer put Dr. Keenwit out of the bad guy business--once and for all?
