My Curious Uncle Dudley

(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Tony Auth. With his parents out of town, eleven-year-old Duncan gets to know his visiting uncle Dudley, who has an interest in "arcane sciences and practices." A magic spell turns the next-door neighbor into a statue, a recipe conjures up goblins, and a love potion causes romantic mayhem in a generally amusing, but rather randomly plotted novel, illustrated with cartoonlike art.
