Welcome back to Deckawoo Drive for a sixth endearing installment in the companion series to Kate DiCamillo’s New York Times best-selling Mercy Watson books. Frank Endicott is a worrier. He worries about lions, submarines, black holes, leprosy, and armadillos. He lists his worries alphabetically in a notebook and suffers vivid nightmares that even a certain neighborhood pig can’t dispatch. When he accompanies Eugenia Lincoln on an errand to duplicate a key at her favorite dark and dusty thrift shop, Frank earns fresh cause for alarm. Odd Buddy Lamp, the shop’s proprietor, has sent them home with the original key and its copy. Can Frank come to terms with the mystery without buckling under his mounting dread? With a little help from friends (old and new), hot cocoa, and some classic short stories read aloud, the prognosis is good.

The sixth audiobook in the Tales from Deckawoo Drive, narrated by William Jackson Harper, features young Franklin Endicott. Frank has an ever-growing list of worries. Then an errand with a neighbor results in Frank ending up with a key he doesn't recognize. "Whose key is it?" Frank worries. He must face his fears to solve the mystery. Opening music places listeners in the idyllic setting of Deckawoo Drive. Harper aptly voices the unique personalities of a variety of characters. Most notably, his performance captures Frank's careful, contemplative disposition. His narrative style is both unhurried and expressive, making for an easy listen, especially as a read-along for younger listeners who have the printed book. A.L.S.M. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine
