This is my favorite book by far. It is very eccentric and quirky but you will come to enjoy it if you have the patience to go through the whole book. Oh and a side note is that don't trust the back of the book because some parts are inaccurate.
The whole story as you can tell from the title is about Alexander Huntington-Ackerman also known as Sandy (for some odd reason) tries to save his family from being poisoned (actually they're in comas). In doing so he finds himself in Walnut Manor where there are supposed to be nuts and psychos. Though Sandy doesn't find them nutty at all, instead it is because of them that he saved Walnut Manor from a personal enemy and rescued his parents.
The book will ease you in the daily lives of the psychos and Sunnie (a nurse-maid, Sandy is in love with). When you finish the book, you will be sad because the secondary characters and the main characters were so tied together that they conquered their foes.
The Villains are the Board of Directors (people in charge of Walnut Manor) and Bart and Bernie (brothers of Sandy's father)
Secondary characters are the Psychos, I'll list them
Virgil and Lyle- People who are addicted to T.V
Graham- An obese teenager
Mr. Moreland-An amnesia ridden person
Captain Lester-A mute rich person, who has squabbles with his rich rival Mr. Moreland (He is not a captain but a businessman)
Eddy- A person who doesn't feel like moving
Main Characters:
Sandy-Son of Horatio and Mousey; kind and faithful
Sunnie- A nursemaid who loves her job
Bentley- Amazing chemist and butler
Horatio-One of the top Richest Men in the world; is kind and helpful
Mousey- A horrible play actress, but still loves her job; she is a loyal and kind wife and mother
Opal-Cranky nursemaid
Sandy learns that sometimes even if you were brought up in an eccentric and rich family, there are still things you can learn about from people you once regarded as idiots
