About this audiobook
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!

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Leon is going into the fifth grade, and loves potato chips, collects them eats them to the limit where he can get sick. He had made a doll of a bully at his school over the summer of a bully that had been bothering him last year. Once he meets his friends at school who are P.W, Lily-Mattise he tells them that there is no worry's of being scared of Lumpkin, who is the bully of the school. Well they try moving the doll like they did to their fourth grade teacher, (which also moved her). It was a failure trying to move Lumpkin with the doll that he made. Leon finds out a way to get it to work from the help of his friends but he had to enter a champion chip contest over testing and tasting the chip, to find out what kind it is. He has to enter this contest to earn money for their plan to use against Lumpkin. He does not win but is given 100 dollars by the owner of a company of potato chips, for being brave to go against other people that had done this contest for a very long time. They do the plan that is needed, and accomplish everything. They get Lumpkin expelled. Leons love for potato chips pays off in the end. Leon is given an award from the contest owners that said,"Champion Chip". He loves his life know and so many people were proud of him.My opinion about his book is good. The book was slow exactly the like the first one ( Leon and the spitting image) and it took a while for the author to get to it's point that it needed to get to in the book. There were a lot good parts in this book though. The parts are when Leon goes to the contest and wins 100 dollars, not by winning but someone had given him that. What I also thought was very interesting in this book was how the doll that Leon makes of the bully, when he moves the doll, so does Lumpkin. This book at some parts were very fascinating. Leon is a kid who is a big fan over potato chips, and it ends up paying off in the end.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is about a boy named Leon who collects chip bags and makes a spitting image of a bully to control him. Leon and his friends have to save his teacher from being fired.This story is really good because it was really funny. The situations were funny. For example, Leon's friend had to dig through a garbage can. This was disgustingly funny!
