Description Supposing Books The Yggyssey: How Iggy Wondered What Happened to All the Ghosts, Found Out Where TheyWent, and Went There (Neddie & Friends #2)
A sequel to critically acclaimed THE NEDDIAD told from the point of view of Ned's friend, IggyLa Brea Woman is missing. Valentino, too. The ghosts of Los Angeles are disappearing right and left!
Iggy Birnbaum is determined to get to the bottom of this mystery, no matter what Neddie Wentworthstein and Seamus Finn say.
There’s just the little matter of traveling to another plane of existence, first…and then, of course, not pissing off a witch once she gets there.
From L.A. to Old New Hackensack, fans of The Neddiad will be delighted to join up with Iggy, Neddie, Seamus, and the usual apparitional entourage for another weird and wonderful adventure by Daniel Pinkwater. As Neil Gaiman said about the first book: "it's funny and tender and strange and impossible to describe. What Pinkwater does is magic and I'm grateful for it."
THE IGGYSSEY is vintage Pinkwater: laugh out loud funny, incredible characters, dialogue, humor. And like THE NEDDIAD, this book will be similarly illustrated throughout by Calef Brown.

In this wacky sequel to The Neddiad, Yggdrasil Birnbaum (Iggy for short), and her friends live in the residential Hermione Hotel, talking and hanging out with movie stars, cowboys, and ghosts (famous and not so famous). When Iggys ghost friends start to disappear, she wants to know why. In this parallel of the Odyssey, Iggy and three friends follow her ghost bunny friend, Chase, through a portal into a zany underworld full of familiar and unfamiliar characters from myths and fairy tales.The second in Pinkwater's, as of now, trilogy, nestled between "The Neddiad" and "Adventures of a Cat-Whiskered Girl", this book does not have the nostalgic drive of the first oe or the sheer mania of the third, but it is still a lot of fun.Daniel Pinkwater is a national treasure and his value to parents of kids moving through grade school, as someone who is funny and intriguing to such a wide variety of maturities, is beyond measure.
I read a lot of YA during the hot months. It's a thing. I enjoy it. This summer has been FULL of bad-servicable choices on my part- some bad enough to be fun, some perfectly fine, a few just plain bad. This is none of that. This is a genuinely good book. I feel like a lot of YA is written about precocious kids by people who either were not, or do not remember what it was like to be precocious children. This kid, however, is an entirely believable precocious child. When reality doesn't make sense
This was a great Pinkwater romp through his always engaging twisted mind. It seemed a little sloppy in spots though - it was never shown why Iggy ws BFFs with Chase, the ghost bunny rabbit, I never believed that the main character was female, and some tertiary characters kept being introduced as though they were new to the story, I also got tired of the reference to something big that happened in the prequel to this book, which was never explained, just referenced to death. My favorite thing

Where The Neddiad was (kinda, sorta, mostly) set in the real world, The Yggyssey (How Iggy Wondered What Happened to All the Ghosts, Found Out Where They Went, and Went There) starts in the same world, but quickly moves to a parallel, more surreal world where Iggy, a young woman introduced in the first book, makes a perilous, episodic journey (much like, say, The Odyssey).
