Description
Hooey, Will and Twig decide to take part in the home-made boat race in Shrimpton-on-Sea. Book #3.
Quick Summary
If your kid loves silly, slapstick humor and stories about friends getting into ridiculous situations, this one's a winner. Hooey and his friends decide to build their own boat for a local race, and let me tell you, things go wonderfully sideways in the best way possible. The jokes land well for kids without talking down to them, and the friendship at the center feels real and warm. It works great for kids who are just starting to read chapter books on their own, or for parents doing read-alouds with slightly younger kids. Think of it as a fun, seaside adventure with the kind of mishaps that make kids giggle and ask for "one more chapter." If you enjoyed "The Bad Guys" by Aaron Blabey for its humor and friendship dynamics, you'll likely love this too.
