Daniel Pinkwater's amazing new novel The Neddiad is out. It's a fantastic tale starring Neddie Wentworthstein, son of a shoelace magnate on a wild adventure featuring a sacred turtle, a shape-shifting shaman, interstellar policemen (like their earthbound comrades, they enjoy donuts), a phantom bellboy, trains, planes and speeding Packard cars, an evil Hollywood mogul,(redundant, I know, but this guy is really evil). I did the cover art , and seventy nine small ink drawings , one for each chapter. Check it out.
