Love these short chapter books from DiCamillo. Jane is getting too old for these, so I just read it to myself.

this was my favorite of the deckawoo series! I love Frank and how he worries and I loved how in the end he turns them into marvels. This would be a wonderful book for a little, worrying, anxious child. (it was a wonderful book for a worrying, anxious adult. Thank you, Kate DiCamillo.)

Thank you PRH Audio for the complimentary audiobook!
This is book 6 in the Tales of Deckawoo Drive, and I now want to go back and listen to the others. Yes listen, because this listening experience was so delightful (I mean the narrator is Chidi from The Good Place!) that it set a precedent! That being said, I did not feel like I was missing out on any part of this book but not having read any of the others. Franklin doesn't like the unknown. He worries about everything. And he keeps track of his worries in a notebook. But when one day he accompanies his neighbor lady to a curious thrift store so she can get a duplicated key, his internal alarm starts ringing because a THIRD key was present in the envelope and he cannot help wondering what it's for! This leads Franklin on a journey to confront his fears and it's a journey you want to be on.
