The Anybodies

(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Peter Ferguson. When Fern discovers her real father is an eccentric hypnotist, she goes to live with him. So begins her wild search for her origins and for a book about magical powers belonging to her mother, who died in childbirth. The funny story and illustrations are engaging, but there are numerous loose ends and extraneous authorial asides à la Lemony Snicket.
