Rain, Snow, Sleet or Hail? Well, if you live in the village of Pennywhistle, you just might see all of those in the same day! Add in lightning storms, tornadoes and perhaps a skiddle-skaddle skunk, and you have the third installment of the Hobart Hucklebuck fantasy series.

Hobart Hucklebuck looked out the window. There was his 103-year-old grandfather, hanging upside down from a Tallyho tree reading a comic book. And that was just the beginning. Colonel Screevy Scuttlebutt thinks giant gophers are invading the town, Pernacious Prattfall thinks pirates left treasure in the Pennywhistle Park pond, and—hold on to your garters—is that Quoquandriak the halfling wearing a tutu? Someone is at it again, and things look bleak for the citizens of Pennywhistle! But here come Hobart Hucklebuck and his friends. Can they save the village one more time?

Tired of being teased about his name and his stutter, 12-year-old Hobart sets out to do a few heroic deeds and earn a place in knight school. But the local damsels he tries to save all know martial arts. The runaway bull he tries to catch wears him like a hat. And don't even ask about the ogre. Finally, in desperation, Hobart sets out on the most daring quest he can think of—he will slay a dragon. Or that's his plan, anyway. The Legend of Hobart is a hilarious, heartfelt adventure, for the would-be hero in all of us.
