Henry Bobbity Is Missing: And It Is All Billy Bobbity's Fault!

by Mark Childress

Billy has banished his brother Henry from their messy room and must set out on a magical adventure to find him. His neighbors wax their pet dinosaurs and work on their rockets as Billy frantically searches the wacky suburb. Billy flies on his Gravity Sled above the neighborhood, encountering the Alien Zoo, the Hall of Big Fun, and the Bridge of the Invisible Gnome. Still no Henry -- Billy is terrified. He abandons his sled, full of remorse for his earlier temper tantrum. Does Billy have the gumption to climb the enormous erupting volcano? Or will he see his brother's missing face on the next carton of milk?
