Seven-year-old Rufus attempts to rescue the Moffat family from financial distress in this title of Estes\'s Newbery Honor-winning series, reissued with new cover art by Tricia Tusa.
The original interior illustrations have been retained, but handsome new cover art by Tricia Tusa gives the books a fresh, timeless appeal for today\'s readers..
Eleanor Estes\'s beloved Moffats stories are being published in new editions as Odyssey/Harcourt Young Classics.
Rufus isn\'t just the youngest Moffat, he\'s also the cleverest, the funniest, and the most unforgettable.
And Rufus has friends that other people don\'t even know exist He discovers the only invisible piano player in town, has his own personal flying horse for a day, and tours town with the Cardboard Boy, his dearest friend-and enemy.
When food is scarce, he plants some special Rufus beans that actually grow...despite his digging them up every day to check on them.
When he wants to check out library books, Rufus teaches himself to write...even though he doesn\'t yet know how to read.
He gets things done, but he gets them done his way.
You\'ve never met anyone quite like Rufus Moffat.
