The Pepins and Their Problems

179 pp. | Farrar | August, 2004 | Trade ISBN 0-374-35817-6 $16.00
(1) 4-6 Illustrated by Marylin Hafner. Light domestic fiction gets a postmodern twist: inviting readers into psychic collaboration ("If you put one finger on each temple and concentrate...Wait! I hear readers!"), Horvath spins deliciously silly stories about a family rivaling Hale's Peterkins for foolishness and Cresswell's Bagthorpes for effervescent wit. Hafner's line drawings visualize the shenanigans with comic amiability.
