Chronicles the adventures of the unusual Figg family after they left show business and settled in the town of Pineapple.
Mona was misrerable. So would you be (maybe) if the Figgs in your family consisted of:
- Sister Figg Newton, Tap Dancer and Baton Twirler (mother)
- Truman, the Human Pretzel (uncle)
- Romulus, the Walking Book of Knowledge, & Remus, the Talking Adding Machine (uncles)
- Kadota and his Nine Performing Kanines (uncles & ?)
Not to mention Auntie Gracie Jo, the dog catcher, and her son, Fido the Second.
The only person Mona loved and respected was her Uncle Florence, the book dealer, and even he made her miserable because of her constant fear that he would find his way to Capri, the Figg Family heaven, and leave her behind.
But, in this book (as Mona had to learn), things were seldom what they seem, even Figgs, Even the book itself, which may be a book about books or a book about dreams; a mysterious romance or a romantic mystery.
