Illustrated by
David Clark.
After Bobby (a boy with "energy to spare") falls down, his head cracks open and his brain escapes. The whole town tries to capture the elusive organ, but only Bobby himself can succeed. Spindly ink and watercolor illustrations propel the manic humor in this gratuitously weird story of a hollow-headed boy and his swift-footed brain.
