Synopsis

The latest tale from Deckawoo Drive—and New York Times best-selling creators Kate DiCamillo and Chris Van Dusen—is a balm for young worrywarts facing the unknown.

Welcome back to Deckawoo Drive for a sixth endearing installment in the companion series to Kate DiCamillo’s New York Times best-selling Mercy Watson books. Frank Endicott is a worrier. He worries about lions, submarines, black holes, leprosy, and armadillos. He lists his worries alphabetically in a notebook and suffers vivid nightmares that even a certain neighborhood pig can’t dispatch. When he accompanies Eugenia Lincoln on an errand to duplicate a key at her favorite dark and dusty thrift shop, Frank earns fresh cause for alarm. Odd Buddy Lamp, the shop’s proprietor, has sent them home with the original key and its copy. Can Frank come to terms with the mystery without buckling under his mounting dread? With a little help from friends (old and new), hot cocoa, and some classic short stories read aloud, the prognosis is good.

Couldn’t love Kate Dicamillo more. She has the best ability to tackle testable and hard things in such a gentle way with few words and beautiful resolutions. Frank is a worrier and this about how finds a way to cope with worries and turn them into marvels. I also love how this is about community and......more

Goodreads review by Margaret on June 19, 2023

I listed to this from the Libby app as an audiobook and I wonder if that was half the entertainment. I was pre-reading for my Kindergarten read alouds next year and this one is a new Sonlight addition since the last time I did Kindergarten (aka Core A). This is a winner and I look forward to sharing......more
