The Knot Impossible by Barbara Else
Rufkin, a perpetual no-hoper, is left to work in a salvage yard while his celebrity parents and talented siblings go on a summer acting tour. At the salvage yard, Rufkin meets Nissy and a small boy who can only say "Help!" Soon they are caught up in a magical adventure. Bursting with humor and mystery, this is the spectacular conclusion to Barbara Else's award-winning Tales of Fontania quartet.
