Leon and the Champion Chip Audiobook Summary
Leon’s back. Having survived the sweatshop methods of Miss Hagmeyer, his needle-wielding fourth grade teacher at the Classical School, Leon braces himself for fifth grade. He arrives armed with a backpack full of pens and pencils, binders and notebooks . . . plus a rag doll that’s the spitting image of Henry Lumpkin, the bully who has Leon in his sights. If the doll works the way it’s supposed to, Leon (and his buddies P.W. and Lily-Matisse) won’t have to worry about Lumpkin the Pumpkin!
Better still, Leon has a fabulous new teacher, Mr. Sparks, who conducts science experiments using that most miraculous of research materials — the potato chip. And a good thing, too. Mr. Sparks’s lab work will come in handy when Leon is forced to take on Alphonse “The Chippopotamus” Cipollini at the annual Chipapalooza! Chip-Off.
Once you’ve sunk your teeth into Leon and the Champion Chip, the hilarious sequel to Leon and the Spitting Image, you’ll never eat potato chips the same way again!

Leon and his friends return in this sequel to Leon and the Spitting Image. Don't want to give any spoilers, so I'll just say this book is a riot. Love the science element that is such a major part of this book, without making it feel bogged down by facts. Wish there was another book in the series!

The story is one to enjoy. There are 2 storylines to follow and I feel the author does a good job in bringing them together. I wasn't impressed with the outcome however the resolution sought from the start comes to fruition in a way that's foreshadowed a few times.

Really enjoyed listening to this audiobook- the only minus is that I realized too late that I actually had book 1 of this series on audiobook and I didn't realize it before I was into this one enough not to want to stop. I could have listened to them in order. Shoot.

Library Catalog This sequel to Leon and the Spitting Image centers around Leon and his 5th grade class’ fascination with potato chips. With the help of his friends P.W. and Lily-Matiss, and his science teacher, Leon enters an international potato chip competition, all while seeking revenge on the class bully. Will Leon win the contest? Will they teach the bully a lesson? Great for grades 3-6.

This is one of the most clever books I have read in years. A science teacher, Mr. Sparks (& that is only the beginning of the puns in this book which are many & wonderful) decides to teach an entire year of 5th grade science--and it can be done! It is terrific all the scientific concepts the students learn via experiments with potato chips! (p.s. I was munching on Pringles "loaded baked potato" while listening to this book--ha ha!)

Nathaniel and Annabel loved this one too -- I think it's one of those rare instances where the sequel is better than the original. Maybe I just have a weakness for potato chip themed books....Also, a science fair and the scientific method play a major role in this one, which makes it very relevant to our lives! Thank you to our local children's librarian who brought the Leon books to our attention!

This was a great book.I enjoyed the first one Leon and the Spitting Image.This book has the same basic idea but brings it up a level. Science, another spitting image to be made, dealing w/a bully and fighting for what's right. If I say much more this book will be ruined for all.Go out get Leon and the Spitting Image and Leon and the Champion Chip.

Oh my gosh, I remember reading this book in fifth grade! It was my favorite book at the time, because I must've read it at least half a dozen times. Glad it showed up again :) I would definitely recommend to any elementary school student such as I was looking for a funny and clever read.

Besides being hilarious and imaginative, this book inspired two passions of mine: potato chips and paint chips. It changed my life!

Enjoyed this, quick read. This book is the second in a series but you do not have to read the first one to understand. Highly recommended for boys grades 4-6

Great book- not as amazing as the Spitting Image, but well worth the enjoyment of the read. I hope that we get to read about Leon in 6th grade. (Champion Chip was 5th)
