Crazy in Poughkeepsie by Daniel Pinkwater
5.0

This book is brilliant, delightful, funny, and a bit weird.
It's a short novel featuring a boy called Maurice, his bizarre family, a guru from Himalaya who was born in New Jersey, a couple of friends of Maurice.
They are all in a small town called Poughkeepsie and I loved them all.
There's plenty of humour, a fascinating world building, and a great cast of characters.
I loved them all even if the Guru was a favorite.
The author is an excellent storyteller and kept me turning pages and entertained.
I laughed a lot and I was happy this is part of a series because there's a lot of other book I will read.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to Tachyon Publications for this ARC, all opinions are mine
