A strange new family has moved into Old Howl Hall. And Critter Falls' three biggest busybodies--Mrs. Plum, Mrs. Pucker, and Mrs. Pinch--can't wait to check them out. The situation gets really hairy when the nosy ladies pop in for lunch--and find much more on the menu than they expected!
The first book in the CotN chapter book series is rather tame compared to the rest; this is a more cozy and humorous tale rather than the fantastical and suspenseful nature of the other entries. While I would peg it as my least favorite of these for that reason, I still enjoyed it. Any time spent with the Critter family at Old Howl Hall is time well spent.
