A wacky and unforgettable
adventure with an unlikely hero.
Jeremy Cabbage
DAVID ELLIOTT
JEREMY CABBAGE IS an orphan stuck at Harpwitch’s Home for Mean
Dogs, Ugly Cats, and Strey Children, where the dogs are treated better
than the kids. And things aren’t much better on the outside: the city is
ruled by the arrogant and foolish Baron Ignatius von Strompié, whose
Wisdom Wagons ride the streets blaring out gems like “Ignorance is bliss,”
and who’s on a campaign to stamp out anyone different. At the top of his
list are the cloons, outlandish people who look and act like clowns.
Jeremy’s only chance is a good adoption—but who would possibly adopt
Jeremy, an unloved, unwanted 11-year-old? The answer sets Jeremy off on
an outrageous, comical adventure that could bring him face to face with
the Baron himself.
David Elliott is the author of several books for young readers, including the
Evangeline Mudd novels and And Here’s to You!, a New York Times bestselling
picture book illustrated by Randy Cecil. He lives in Warner, New Hampshire.
