Horton Halfpott: Or, the Fiendish Mystery of Smugwick Manor; Or, the Loosening of m'Lady Luggertuck's Corset by Tom Angleberger

4.0

Tom Angleberger introduces us to a cast of characters unlike any others. This humorous mystery is an homage to Dickens and Victorian literature. Our hero, Horton Halfpott, is a do-gooder who works in the kitchet at Smugwick Manor and is treated horribly by the cook although he is the hardest worker there. Horton gets mixed in with a mystery and kidnapping scheme that he had not asked for, but may just change everything...
