Opis

The Wacky Winter on Wiggly Way introduces middle readers to the concepts of fear, loss and doubt through the eyes of Stuart, a carnival storyteller, his partner the talking mouse and some new friends the pair make in the unlikeliest of places. Looking for a room to rent for the winter, Stuart and Henry Houdini the Magical Mouse arrive at the boarding house at One Wiggly Way. Piggly Wiggly, the angry landlord, offers him a room as long as he abides by a few specific rules, the first being, "No Pets." Even though Stuart knows his rent money will pay for more bricks for the monstrous wall Piggly Wiggly is building around his boarding house, he agrees because cold weather is coming on and he has to find a place to stay. Very quickly, an amazing thing happens when Stuart and Henry become good friends with Isabelle, the beautiful but broken-heartened librarian, her mischievous cat Annie, and Ophelia, the former opera singer hiding from a terrible secret. They could all stay at the house in their new found happiness as long as they followed the rules; but Piggly Wiggly was a jealous and mean-spirited old man and kept changing the rules to keep the friends apart. Will Piggly Wiggly and his crazy wall break the friends apart or will one of them find the courage to stand up to him? Find out what happens.
