Description
The inimitable Daniel Pinkwater (The Hoboken Chicken Emergency) brings his zany wit and wisdom to a gentle middle-grade adventure following a kid s off-the-beaten-path journey, featuring an unfocused spiritual guide, a not-quite-dwarf, a graffiti artist, a ghost whale, and mystical shenanigans galore.
Crazy in Poughkeepsie is a ludicrous romp reminiscent of the Muppets! This is a book that will make you laugh, grin, and maybe look for more whimsy in your own world.

Neil Gaiman, author of American Gods
