Description

In this funny middle grade fantasy, if Howard had known the old hag was a witch, he never would have taunted her. But he did, and she did what witches do—cursed him—and now he’s a goose! Howard is desperate to become a human again. But the only way to break the curse is to do three good deeds. How can you help others when you’ve got webbed feet, wings for hands, and can’t say anything but "Honk"?

  • Perfect for Halloween reading
  • Features light scares
  • A charming cozy seasonal pick
