Description: 13+
Things are not as they should be in Pennywhistle. Enchanted toasters are not toasting, enchanted sprinklers are not sprinkling and Hobart Hucklebuck's origami messenger birds are suddenly attacking him.
Someone seems to be draining the power from all of the enchanted items in the village. But who could it be and why have they implicated Hobart's grandfather?
The Misadventures of Hobart Hucklebuck: Magic & Mayhem follows Hobart and his friends, Specks Spacklethack and Rosie Rumpleskirt, as they try to solve this mystery and free Hobart's grandfather from the Tower of Tribulation on Mumblemonk Mountain.
The trio's investigation into the mysterious happenings on Druid Lane gets them into hot water more than once and ultimately brings them dangerously close to disaster not only for themselves, but the entire village of Pennywhistle.
There is a great deal of fun, adventure, magic, and mayhem in book one of this great new middle grade series by Stan Swanson. The series is aimed at ages 8-12 but there is fun to be enjoyed for all ages. This would be a great story to read together as there are lots of opportunities for laughs, crazy voice usage, and wacky names to stumble over. - Goodreads

Thanks for hosting a spotlight. You must not have got my emails about the interview, I know I emailed twice. But that's okay, this works. Thank you!
