About this audiobook
Leo has explored the zany, wonderful Whippet Hotel from basement to top floor, with trains, flying goats, and mazes (among other things) in between. But even Leo doesn't know every secret of the Whippet - and when he discovers that there's more beneath the hotel than he'd thought, it doesn't take long for more adventures to unfold!

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5We LOVED IT!!! I listened to it with my sons- 11 & 8. It was such a great sequel. We r very excited to listen to the next book. Definitely recommend!! Fun story! Creative. Mysterious. Unusual. Wonderful!!!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This is a continuation of "Floors"..... Ms. Sparks the ousted Hotel manager has returned w/ a sinister plot to take over the Whippet Hotel for default of taxes.....
She hires a mysterious man to keep an eye on Leo (the young boy who now owns the Hotel) & his friend/half-brother, Remi.
In order to save the Hotel from default, Leo & Remi have to travel in the Duck Elevator to # Floors below the Hotel.....
The book lacked character stories & sub-plots. It was mostly about the adventure of the two boys.... The adventure was just too fantastical for my liking. - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/53 Below by Patrick Carman is the sequel to Floors. Leo's father and Remi's mother are married on the roof of the Whippet Hotel. Before they can even cut the cake, they are whisked away by Merganser D. Whippet for a surprise honeymoon. Meanwhile, Leo and Remi are facing a massive tax bill.The Whippet Hotel, set in an undisclosed Manhattan block is known for its unusually themed rooms. Floors gave readers a tour of its inner workings. In 3 Below, the solution to the tax problem lies in the three subterranean levels.And here's where my suspension of disbelief is severely challenged. It's probably because I'm a property owner and therefore a payer of property taxes. They are predictable and timely bills. But they also have some wiggle room Ñ both in paying without penalty, and with paying an extra percentage as penalty. Now take a world famous hotel that everyone has heard of and think of the land it sits on, which by its own value would more than pay for the taxes of one overdue bill.But no, the taxes have to serve as an artificial deadline that forces the two boys to explore the "dangerous" bits of the hotel. Remi and Leo are sent with a shopping list of things they need to complete their quest and pay the tax bill.3 Below reads more like a Roald Dahl novel than Floors does (including lots of BFG reminiscent bodily noises). There's magical monkeys, an incredibly stinky cat, and a whole lot of burping.The final act though makes up for the unnecessary silliness. Finally the potential danger manifests. It's also the closet thing to an explanation for all the secrecy to the three basement floors.There's a third book, The Field of Wacky Inventions which concludes the adventures of Leo and Remi.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5PSC REVIEW: Fans of Floors (2011) will want to read 3 Below, the second book in the series by Washington state author, Patrick Carmen. Leo has inherited the Whippet Hotel only to discover his benefactor, Merganzer D. Whippet, has forgotten to pay taxes for many years. Mr. Whippet arrives with clues and leaves Leo and his best friend, Remi (now his step-brother) to solve the problem. Armed with clues and the help of Betty the Duck, they find new floors beneath the hotel. Strange monkeys and new inventions and people are discovered as they search for the money. Of course, old nemeses are there to gain ownership of the hotel. And in the end, everyone discovers that Marganzer D. Whippet has had everything under control from the beginning while Leo’s adventures get crazier and crazier.
