Description
LOOKING FOR BOBOWICZ
Daniel Pinkwater
Nick Itch isn't thrilled about having to move from the suburbs to hot, muggy Hoboken.
But when he meets Bruno Ugg and Loretta Fischetti, the three become fast friends, bonding over Classics Comics, pirate radio, and a plan to find the legendary Arthur Bobowicz and his 266–pound chicken, Henrietta.
Ages 8+
