I loved it. Gloriously strange, funny, sensible.
Neil Gaiman
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 Catskills.
Captivating, cool and crazy! Sam Lloyd, author of Mr. Pusskins
A Pinkwater whirlwind in all its glory. Booklist
Molly O'Malley is a clever, adventurous girl. She is also a Dwerg. Dwergs are strange folks who live very quietly in the Catskill 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 pursuing the Dwergs for their gold. Can Molly O Malley save the day?
