The Misadventures of Hobart Hucklebuck is a juvenile fantasy book aimed at 8-11 year olds. The book is the first in a scheduled series featuring Hobart Hucklebuck and his friends in the amazing, magical setting of Pennywhistle.
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" 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.

Professional Reviews
Danielle Stockley (Scholastic Book Club)
"Hobart has great imagination, excitement and humor... a cast of memorable characters set in a well-developed fantasy world."
--Amanda Richards (Amazon Top 100 Reviewer)
"Recommended for young readers, who will surely get a thrill from the colorful characters, the weird sounding menu items and the thrilling action of the penultimate chapter."
--Jane Corn (Amazon Top 500 Reviewer)
“With Hobart Hucklebuck leading the way, children should find their imaginations going full tilt - and enjoying the experiences immensely! As Hobart and his friends try to solve the mystery, young readers' hearts will race and they'll be eager to finish this one. I'd consider this an excellent choice for any youngster able to handle Chapter books and it isn't overly long either. Chapter titles are very creative, as is the entire book. For those who feel they MUST throw in a little education along with a good read, you'll find plenty of examples of alliteration in this one as well as a unique writing style. There is also humor and wonderful characters. For those too young to handle Harry Potter, this is an excellent alternative, just the thing to spark young imaginations and provide a rollicking fun time as well.”
