The Misadventures of Hobart Hucklebuck: Magic & Mayhem by Stan Swanson
5.0
Hobart is a rollicking good time of a book with hilarious characters and the funnest writing style with cool made up words that roll off the tongue like muckenslush mush, Quoquandriak and Herman
Hemperdink! You know when a book opens with magic bread that won't jump into the toaster that you are in for a good time!!
Stan Swanson dedicates the book to his grandchildren so obviously he is familiar with telling stories and in Hobart he tells a great one. I enjoyed reading the book and my kids LOVED it. It's cute without being 'cutesy', the plot is loads of fun and the writing is outstanding. There is magic but it's fun magic not mean magic if you know what I mean!!
Some of the kids are Hobart's friends, even when he's not sure he even has any friends! I liked the way the 'girl' and the mean bully kid parts of the story were handled. Hobart and his grandfather are terrific and the ending was super sweet!!! I was given a copy of this book for review but the opinion is my own-it is a 5 star read for all ages and I encourage you to read it!!
