Nacky Patcher and the Curse of the Dry-Land Boats

371 pp. | Philomel | June, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-0-399-24604-3 $18.99
(3) 4-6 Illustrated by David Elliot. N'er-do-well Nacky Patcher and orphan Teedie Flinn discover a way to lift the curse that plagues their village: they must rebuild a ship from scratch with materials that mysteriously wash up from the lake. Readers will be intrigued by this quirky adventure with its oddly endearing cast of characters. The theme of cooperation comes through without overwhelming the plot.
