Horn Book

These three books by outside-the-box writer, illustrator, and designer Raskin welcome readers in as participants in solving the story's mystery or completing its quest; all of them speak to both head and heart (especially Figgs & Phantoms, a most poignant exploration of grief). They are smart books, but they don't exclude anybody; they're for all kids.

A Newbery Honor book

The Amazing Dancing Figgs!
While Mona hates all the attention her eccentric relatives bring to her in town, there is one Figg family member she likes: her Uncle Florence, the book dealer. But Uncle Florence keeps hinting that he's going to find his way to Capri, the Figg family heaven. And that means leaving Mona behind. Can Mona find Capri before it's too late, or will she learn that things are seldom what they seem when books are involved?
