I really enjoyed this quirky, little book. It tells the story of a small village, the resident magical creature - Dead Papa Toothwart, a small boy named Lanny, Lanny's mother, Lanny's father, and the old artist of some renown - Mad Pete - who becomes fast friends with Lanny. The story is quite complex. We learn, in quite experimental ways, what the townspeople are like through what they gossip about as heard by Dead Papa Toothwart. We learn about Lanny from his mother, his father, and Mad Pete. There is an incident that brings out the best and the worst in people. An incident caused by Dead Papa Toothwart. I really like this book. It gets five stars because the story is good and told in a very creative way.
