(3) 4-6 Duke and Claire are cousins who live along a mystical stretch of the Mississippi River, home to trolls and magic spells. When a mysterious old woman catches Duke bullying Claire, she replaces his nose with a rhinoceros-like horn that grows when he's mean. Claire's first-person narration offers a humorous and fantastical story in the best tradition of Mississippi River fiction.
