The latest tale from Deckawoo Drive--and New York Times best-selling
creators Kate DiCamillo and Chris Van Dusen--is a balm for young
worrywarts facing the unknown.
Welcome back to Deckawoo Drive for a sixth endearing installment in the
companion series to Kate DiCamillo's New York Times best-selling Mercy
Watson books. Frank Endicott is a worrier. He worries about lions,
submarines, black holes, leprosy, and armadillos. He lists his worries
alphabetically in a notebook and suffers vivid nightmares that even a
certain neighborhood pig can't dispatch. When he accompanies Eugenia
Lincoln on an errand to duplicate a key at her favorite dark and dusty
thrift shop, Frank earns fresh cause for alarm. Odd Buddy Lamp, the
shop's proprietor, has sent them home with the original key and its
copy. Can Frank come to terms with the mystery without buckling under
his mounting dread? With a little help from friends (old and new), hot
cocoa, and some classic short stories read aloud, the prognosis is good.
