The Moffat Museum by Eleanor Estes

There has never been a museum in Cranbury...until now.


Among its treasures are the first bike each of the Moffat kids rode, stardust from a meteor that fell to earth, a beautiful painting made by Sylvie, and-most spectacularly-Rufus, the Waxworks Boy, who is as funny as he is waxy. The museum is so interesting that Mr. Pennypepper even brings tourists to visit.

But the museum is really for Jane, Joey, and Rufus themselves, so they can remember all the good times they've had. Because life is changing for the Moffats.


Yet even if Sylvie gets married, or Joey goes off to work, or Rufus grows up, one thing will never change: The Moffats are still the sort to hilariously fill even the most ordinary day with extraordinary fun.


  • Sibling Story: Join Jane, Joey, and Rufus Moffat as they navigate the small joys and big changes of family life together.
  • Making Your Own Fun: When their town has no museum, the Moffats decide to create one in their barn, filled with treasures only they could find.
  • Childhood Adventures: From collecting stardust to Rufus becoming a hilarious "Waxworks Boy" statue, every day is an opportunity for fun.
  • A Heartwarming Classic: Perfect for fans of gentle, nostalgic reads, this story captures a timeless slice of early 20th-century American life.
