Looking for Bobowicz

A Hoboken Chicken Story

By Daniel Pinkwater

When Nick moved from the leafy suburbs to muggy, urban Hoboken and his bike was stolen, he wasn’t pleased. Then he found a place where he could listen to pirate radio, friends with a stack of Classics Comics, newspaper reports about a kid named Arthur Bobowicz and a 266-pound chicken named Henrietta, the secret entrance to Sibyl’s Cave, and much, much more, all of it practically true.

Get an ice-cold Dr. Pedwee’s grape soda and prepare to enjoy this Pinkwater Special, complete with saucy dialogue, snarky wordplay, more than a few red herrings, and one bowl of disgusting oyster stew.
