Bookroo's summary
In the quirky town of Centerburg, Homer Price faces a peculiar challenge: outsmarting four cunning bandits. Armed with only his wits and a pet skunk, Homer navigates a world where doughnut-eating contests and rapid house-building are the norm. As he encounters eccentric townsfolk and uncovers secrets, Homer must use his ingenuity to protect his community. Will his cleverness be enough to thwart the bandits' plans? Dive into a tale of humor and adventure, where small-town charm meets unexpected twists.
From the publisher
Homer Price lives two miles out of Centerburg, where Route 56 meets 56A, but most of his friends and relatives live in town. They include Aunt Aggy and Uncle Ulysses, the Sheriff and the boys, Miss Terwilliger, Miss Naomi Enders, great-great-great granddaughter of Ezekiel Enders who funded Centerburg and who owned the precious formula for making Cough Syrup and Elixir of Life Compound. While Centerburg is not exactly nosey, precious little happens that the good citizens do not know.
