Illustrated by
Joe Cepeda.
In this sequel to The Journey of Oliver K. Woodman, Oliver disappears on another cross-country journey. Uncle Ray makes a second life-size wooden doll and sends her off in pursuit. The premise that one wooden figure is pursuing another makes for a confusing tale, but Cepeda's oil paintings, with their varied, energetic folk, help make this a trip worth taking.
