"I loved it."
--Neil Gaiman
Bestselling author Daniel Pinkwater (The Hoboken Chicken Emergency)
returns in classic form with the illustrated, middle-grade adventures
of one young Molly O'Malley: a dwarf (well, dwarf-ish) girl who just
won't settle for a boring life in the Catskills.
"Captivating, cool and crazy!" --Sam Lloyd, author of Mr. Pusskins
"A Pinkwater whirlwind in all its glory."--Booklist
Molly O'Malley is a clever, adventurous girl. She is also a Dwerg.
Dwergs are strange folks who live very quietly in the Catskill
mountains, have lots of gold, and are kind of like dwarves (but also
not!).
Molly isn't interested in cooking and weaving, as she is expected to be.
So, she sets off to see the world for herself. Which means a new job, a
trip to New York City, prowling gangsters, an adorable king, a city
witch, and many historical ghosts. More importantly, it means excellent
pizza, new friends, and very quick thinking.
Now someone is pursuing the Dwergs for their gold. Can Molly O'Malley
save the day?
