With Horton Halfpott, Angleberger offers a zany tale of dizzying hilarity. What be this? The unthinkable has happened-Lady Luggertuck has loosened her corset! Oh, this can't be good. In the wake of the Loosening, it seems anything is possible!

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Readers will enjoy Angleberger’s penchant for the absurd as well as his many droll asides. With Angleberger’s many eclectic characters, his wild-and-witty storytelling, and a lighthearted but perplexing mystery—involving a ‘lump’ of diamonds, a couple of wigs, and a bust of Napoleon—readers are in for a treat.” —Publishers Weekly
“From the author of The Strange Case of Origami Yoda, here’s an amusing romp of a mystery that balances skulduggery with just rewards.” —Booklist
“Much like Dickens or Dahl, an opinionated narrator with a strong sense of the ridiculous directs this story.” —School Library Journal
“A positively gleeful historical mystery farce. Short chapters, a fast pace and plenty of linguistic and slapstistic humor will have young readers hoping that a sequel is planned…A romp from start to finish.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Exaggerated black-and-white drawings emphasize the often wacky humor in this goofy faux-British mystery. Sprawling, outlandish tale.” —Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
