Publisher's Synopsis
A magical novel about Howard Harvard, who is retiring from his longtime job at a college. Would you believe that an Abraham Lincoln impersonator lives in the walls? Would you be surprised to see a skeleton walking on Holly Street? Why is there a Witch Woods street sign and where does it go? What will Criswell predict? Are animals visiting us from dreams? What about Louie's Bet Shop? Find the answers in this adventurous book for all ages. From the introduction: "Would you be surprised to see a skeleton walking along the sidewalk? I wonder if anyone would-in this time it doesn't seem such a shock. What would catch the attention of this modern audience of ours? What if Abraham Lincoln was added next to him? When the two of them walk the city streets they fit right in with America, treated to haunted flapjacks and free coffee, ready to face the day, and if there's a way to repair the damage that's been done, they will find it."
