household Horton and his friends the snooping stable boys try to unravel the
mystery and its connection to the beautiful heiress Celia and a band of
shipless pirates.
Silly and fun retelling of the Cinderella story, by Tom
Angleberger, Horton is too good to be true.
He is loved by the baker and the pirates. Angleberger also provides the illustrations
for this book which are quite entertaining.
This is a fun and quick read with a glow in the dark cover.
