The Ballad of Tubs Marshfield

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.

“"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."”
