(More customer reviews)Welcome to the village of Pennywhistle, where almost everything is enchanted under very strict supervision at the Pennywhistle Amalgamated Enchantment Factory. On command, slices of bread jump into toasters, and when all nice and toasty, they spread themselves with butter and jelly. Lawnmowers mow lawns, mops mop, and cuckoo clocks really go quite cuckoo on the hour. All enchantments however, must be approved by the A.E.I.O.U. (Amalgamated Enchantment Industry's Organized Union), and ordinary magic is strongly discouraged.
This story's the tale of Hobart Hucklebuck
Whose enchanted objects began getting stuck
The bread wouldn't toast and the covers stayed down
Something was amiss in his magical town
The folk from the bureau were very upset
Unauthorized magic was surely a threat
They worried and wondered just who it could be
And blamed the whole thing on Wicksford Waxenbee
Hobart knew that this was a big load of blather
And started to work himself into a lather
He called up his friends for an investigation
To free his grandfather from dire Tribulation
Their search almost ended in certain disaster
`Til he called up a spell that he hoped he could master
To learn how it ends, you must read it to see
`Cos there's no way that you're going to hear it from me
Recommended for young readers, who will surely get a thrill from the colorful characters with names like Spacklethack and Rumpleskirt, the weird sounding menu items, and the thrilling action of the penultimate chapter.Amanda Richards, July 29, 2007

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.
