Big Audrey is a girl . . .
with cat s whiskers . . .
and sort of cat s eyes.
But, is there an other cat-whiskered, sort of cat-eyed girl? Big Audrey waves goodbye to her friends Iggy and Neddie, Seamus, and Crazy Wig, in Los Angeles and hitches a ride with bongo-playing-while-driving Marlon Brando across the country to Poughkeepsie, New York, city of mystery. She finds she has questions needing answers and a bit of inter-plane-of-existence traveling to do. Big Audrey and her telepathic friend Molly zigzag off on an incredibly strange and kooky adventure, and solve the mystery of the cat-whiskered doppelganger."]]> Sun, 24 Oct 2010 12:38:49 +0300 https://zombies.library.land/daniel-pinkwater/50644-the_neddiad_how_neddie_took_the_train_went_to_hollywood_and_saved_civilization.html https://zombies.library.land/daniel-pinkwater/50644-the_neddiad_how_neddie_took_the_train_went_to_hollywood_and_saved_civilization.html
The old powers try to come back, and the planet is plunged into chaos, and civilization is destroyed, and it gets all violent and evil...the old legends tell that a hero...with the sacred turtle, always... Los Angeles, California.
Neddie Wentworthstein is the guy with the turtle.
Sandor Eucalyptus is the guy with the jellybean.
Sholmos Bunyip wants the turtle...and he'll stop at nothing to get it. This is the story of how Neddie, three good friends, a shaman, a ghost, and a little maneuver known as the French substitution determine the fate of the world.]]> Wed, 24 Oct 2007 12:38:49 +0300 https://zombies.library.land/daniel-pinkwater/50638-mrs_noodlekugel.html https://zombies.library.land/daniel-pinkwater/50638-mrs_noodlekugel.html
Nick and Maxine live in a tall building with one apartment on top of another. So when they look out their window and see a little house they never knew was there, of course they must visit (especially when their parents tell them not to!). Going through the boiler room, they’re amazed to find to a secret backyard with a garden, a porch, and a statue of a cat. And they’re even more amazed when that cat starts to talk. . . . Welcome to the world of Mrs. Noodlekugel, where felines converse and serve cookies and tea, vision-impaired mice join the party (but may put crumbs up their noses), and children in search of funny adventures are drawn by the warm smell of gingerbread and the promise of magical surprises.]]> Wed, 24 Oct 2012 12:38:48 +0300 https://zombies.library.land/daniel-pinkwater/50642-lizard_music.html https://zombies.library.land/daniel-pinkwater/50642-lizard_music.html
BY THE AUTHOR OF
The Big Orange Splot, The Neddiad, and 
Adventures of a Cat-Whiskered Girl Things Victor loves: pizza with anchovies, grape soda, B movies aired at midnight, the evening news. And with his parents off at a resort and his older sister shirking her babysitting duties, Victor has plenty of time to indulge himself and to try a few things he’s been curious about. Exploring the nearby city of Hogboro, he runs into a curious character known as the Chicken Man (a reference to his companion, an intelligent hen named Claudia who lives under his hat). The Chicken Man speaks brilliant nonsense, but he seems to be hip to the lizard musicians (real lizards, not men in lizard suits) who’ve begun appearing on Victor’s television after the broadcast of the late-late movie. Are the lizards from outer space? From “other space”? Together Victor and the Chicken Man, guided by the able Claudia, journey to the lizards’ floating island, a strange and fantastic place that operates with an inspired logic of its own.]]> Wed, 14 Sep 1977 21:47:48 +0300 https://zombies.library.land/daniel-pinkwater/50640-young_adult_novel.html https://zombies.library.land/daniel-pinkwater/50640-young_adult_novel.html

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."
—Beth Cato, author of The Clockwork Dagger
"[Pinkwater has] a magic that's not like anyone else's."
—Neil Gaiman, author of American Gods
Mick is a good kid, but maybe he can use just a little guidance. But it's unclear who will be guiding whom, because Mick's brother came home from Tibet with the self-proclaimed Guru Lumpo Smythe-Finkel and his dog Lhasa—and then promptly settled both of them in Mick's bedroom.
The thing about this kind of guru is that he...]]> Sat, 17 Dec 2022 14:11:47 +0200 https://zombies.library.land/daniel-pinkwater/50637-mrs_noodlekugel_and_four_blind_mice.html https://zombies.library.land/daniel-pinkwater/50637-mrs_noodlekugel_and_four_blind_mice.html
Four farsighted mice get glasses — and a talking cat solves a family mystery — as the charmingly eccentric Mrs. Noodlekugel returns. When Mrs. Noodlekugel’s four mice make a terrible mess with cookie crumbs at tea, she decides to take them on the bus to visit the eye doctor — and invites Nick and Maxine to come along! The mice ride on Mrs. Noodlekugel’s hat, while Mr. Fuzzface, her talking cat, has the indignity of riding in a carrier. Afterward, the hungry crew head to Dirty Sally’s Lunchroom, but the mice overdo their cheesecake and run out the door. Luckily a policeman is at the ready to help with the search — as is a rough-edged, yarn-spinning alley cat with a surprising connection to Mr. Fuzzface! It’s all a day in the life of Daniel Pinkwater’s whimsical characters, in a chapter-book series whose comical tone and cozy illustrations are sure to keep young readers coming back for more.]]> Thu, 24 Oct 2013 12:38:48 +0300 https://zombies.library.land/daniel-pinkwater/50636-mrs_noodlekugel_and_drooly_the_bear.html https://zombies.library.land/daniel-pinkwater/50636-mrs_noodlekugel_and_drooly_the_bear.html
In a wonderfully loopy third episode, Nick and Maxine are surprised to meet Captain Noodlekugel, back from the sea with a somewhat untrainable bear. When their father decides to compete to be speed-knitting champion of the world, Nick and Maxine are happy to stay with their babysitter, Mrs. Noodlekugel, along with her talking cats and four mice who wear glasses. What they don’t expect is a dripping-wet, whiskered man in the kitchen the next morning! Captain Noodlekugel has left his seafaring life to train animals for the circus, and he’s even brought with him a hefty bear named Drooly for practice. But whenever he tries to teach Drooly to dance, the bear wobbles and falls asleep on the tulips. When Drooly goes missing, the siblings must try to figure out where a big clumsy bear might go!]]> Sat, 24 Oct 2015 12:38:48 +0300 https://zombies.library.land/daniel-pinkwater/50635-irving_and_muktuk_two_bad_bears.html https://zombies.library.land/daniel-pinkwater/50635-irving_and_muktuk_two_bad_bears.html
Every year the little town of Yellowtooth celebrates the New Year with a Blueberry Muffin Festival. But every year, the festivities come under a shadow cast by Irving and Muktuk, two polar bears whose badness is equaled only by their thick-headedness.
These bears are muffin-pilferers of the worst kind. Therefore, they have to contend with Officer Bunny, who is the law in Yellowtooth. Officer Bunny is wise in the ways of the North, and knows how to protect a muffin. As the years go by, Irving and Muktuk’s muffin-getting schemes turn more and more devious, keeping Officer Bunny on his toes as he tries to figure out what to do with the crafty though dimwitted bears once and for all. ]]> Wed, 24 Oct 2001 12:38:48 +0300 https://zombies.library.land/daniel-pinkwater/565978-adventures_of_a_dwergish_girl.html https://zombies.library.land/daniel-pinkwater/565978-adventures_of_a_dwergish_girl.html
Bestselling author Daniel Pinkwater (The Hoboken Chicken Emergency) returns in classic form with the illustrated, middle-grade adventures of one young Molly O'Malley: a dwarf (well, dwarf-ish) girl who just won't settle for a boring life in the Catskill mountains.
"Daniel Pinkwater's books don't strive for greatness; they don't seem to be trying at all. That's the magic of them."
—The New York Times Book Review
Molly O'Malley is a clever, adventurous girl. She is also a Dwerg. Dwergs are strange folks who live very quietly in the mountains, have lots of gold, and are kind of like dwarves (but also not!).
Molly isn't interested in cooking and weaving, as she is expected to be. So, she sets off to see the world for herself. Which means a new job, a trip to New York City, prowling gangsters, an adorable king, a city witch, and many historical ghosts. More importantly, it means excellent pizza, new friends, and very quick thinking.
Now someone is...]]> Sun, 01 Nov 2020 20:25:20 +0200 https://zombies.library.land/daniel-pinkwater/50639-bushman_lives.html https://zombies.library.land/daniel-pinkwater/50639-bushman_lives.html
“What Pinkwater does is magic, and I’m grateful for it.” --Neil Gaiman (about The Neddiad)

Is Bushman the gorilla alive? According to the papers, he died a long time ago. Why is he so important to the high school senior and aspiring Great Artist Harold Knishke? It’s a hot summer in 1960s Chicago, and people are on the streets late at night, including the Chicken Man and Molly the dwerg. While reading this hilarious young adult novel (with illustrations by Calef Brown!) teens will ask themselves, “Why am I reading this?” and “Is Harold about to embark on a voyage of great adventure?” He is.]]> Wed, 24 Oct 2012 12:38:48 +0300 https://zombies.library.land/daniel-pinkwater/50643-the_yggyssey_how_iggy_wondered_what_happened_to_all_the_ghosts.html https://zombies.library.land/daniel-pinkwater/50643-the_yggyssey_how_iggy_wondered_what_happened_to_all_the_ghosts.html
A sequel to critically acclaimed THE NEDDIAD told from the point of view of Ned's friend, Iggy La Brea Woman is missing. Valentino, too. The ghosts of Los Angeles are disappearing right and left! Iggy Birnbaum is determined to get to the bottom of this mystery, no matter what Neddie Wentworthstein and Seamus Finn say. There’s just the little matter of traveling to another plane of existence, first…and then, of course, not pissing off a witch once she gets there. From L.A. to Old New Hackensack, fans of The Neddiad will be delighted to join up with Iggy, Neddie, Seamus, and the usual apparitional entourage for another weird and wonderful adventure by Daniel Pinkwater. As Neil Gaiman said about the first book: "it's funny and tender and strange and impossible to describe. What Pinkwater does is magic and I'm grateful for it." THE IGGYSSEY is vintage Pinkwater: laugh out loud funny, incredible characters, dialogue, humor. And like THE NEDDIAD, this book will be similarly illustrated throughout by Calef Brown.]]> Fri, 24 Oct 2008 12:38:49 +0300 https://zombies.library.land/daniel-pinkwater/175346-young_adults.html https://zombies.library.land/daniel-pinkwater/175346-young_adults.html
