Description: |
From the author of The Strange Case of Origami Yoda, a middle-grade novel that is part Dickens, part Pinkwater. |
Synopsis: |
Tom Angleberger's latest middle-grade novel begins when M'Lady Luggertuck loosens her corset (it's never been loosened before!), thereby setting off a chain of events in which all the strict rules around Smugwick Manor are abandoned. Then, the precious family heirloom, Luggertuck Lump (quite literally a lump), goes missing. Who's to blame? Is it Horton Halfpott, the good-natured but lowly kitchen boy who can't tell a lie? Or is it Luther Luggertuck, the youngest, most spoiled Luggertuck with an evil plan to marry the lovely Celia Sylvan-Smythe? A creative and colourful cast come together for an entertaining and edge-of-your-seat mystery for young readers. |
