Fans of Sara Pennypacker and Katherine Applegate will love this thrilling environmental fable&;filled with laughter, music, and adventure.

There&;s no other place Tubs Marshfield would rather be than singing a song in his perfect little swamp along the Louisiana bayou. His music can make anyone feel happy.

But something terrible is happening within the swamp that even Tubs&; songs can&;t fix&;and it&;s making his neighbors feel sick! No one knows what to do, least of all Tubs.

A mysterious prophecy may hold the key&;or send Tubs away from his friends forever.

Industry Reviews

"Hoffman brings the rich beauty of the ancient swamp to life ... [and] shines a sharp light on humans' damaging impact on nature, the story also shows the inspiring power of setting aside differences and working together to make change." -- Publishers Weekly

"Hoffman has created in Tubs the voice of personal and collective responsibility for the protection of animal habitats that is sure to appeal to young activists; Tubs's protest songs become a call to action. ...Hoffman paints a powerful sense of place, and the language sparkles with the color, sounds, and smells of the teeming life of the swamp."
-- School Library Journal

"Spritely and fun." -- Kirkus Reviews

PRAISE FOR BERNARD PEPPERLIN:
“Hoffman deftly creates a compellingly different kind of Wonderland, a place with its own set of realities and whose residents understand that, in spite of their differences, they are stronger together than apart. Everything a fantasy should be and more." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

“A quirky flight of fancy with a rich lineage." -- Publishers Weekly

"Hoffman cleverly mingles familiar themes and tropes from Carroll's famous novel with wry humor. A great read-alike for fans of Roald Dahl, E.B. White, and Katherine Applegate." -- School Library Journal

“Bernard and his newfound friends--revolutionary rats, wise-cracking cats, and coffee-chugging squirrels, to name a few--will delight and inspire readers of all ages. New York City will never be the same again!" -- Erin Entrada Kelly, Newbery Medal-winning author of Hello Universe

“What do you get when you put one lost little mouse into a big city filled with singing cockroaches, hungry falcons, magic teapots, and conniving weasels? An utterly charming, delightful tale of bravery and friendship!" -- Bobbie Pyron, award-winning author of A Pup Called Trouble

"Bernard Pepperlin sparkles! Small animals--human and otherwise--will be inspired by Cara Hoffman's charming middle grade debut." -- Sherri L. Smith, author of The Toymaker's Apprentice
