Bookroo's summary

On his birthday, Epossumondas faces a dilemma: his family vanishes while fetching sody for his favorite biscuits. With no one returning, he embarks on a rescue mission, only to confront a fearsome Louisiana snapping turtle. Can Epossumondas save his loved ones and bring back the sody in time for his birthday celebration? Discover the twists and turns of this folktale-inspired adventure.

From the publisher

It’s Epossumondas’s birthday, so Mama’s whipping up his favorite biscuits. But she’s plumb out of sody sallyraytus! (That’s baking soda to all you Yankees.) Everybody knows you can’t make big, fluffy biscuits without sody. One by one, Baby Gator, Auntie, and Mama scoot to the store to fetch some. But when no one comes back, it’s up to Epossumondas to run out and see what’s what–until he runs smack into a great, huge, ugly Louisiana snapping turtle!
