"A Perfect Disaster"

An elephant at the Inn? This is not the weekend Luke had planned. It’s August 1967, and Riley, Nebraska, is celebrating the state’s centennial. Luke Carsten can’t wait for his best friend, Carly, to come back for a visit. But their plans take an unexpected turn when the Traveling Tabaczeks arrive at his family’s Castle Inn—with five children, a chimpanzee, a kangaroo, a reindeer, a miniature pony, and a young elephant. Suddenly, Luke is helping with an animal show, making new friends, and discovering just how much trouble a chimp in a cowboy hat can cause. What begins as a crowded, chaotic weekend might turn out to be a perfect success. Then a tornado tears through the celebration, and the animals scatter. With familiar roads and pastures changed by the storm, Luke and his friends must work together to find the missing animals and bring them home. Full of humor, heart, and unexpected friendships, A PERFECT DISASTER is the second book in the CASTLE INN ADVENTURES, where there’s always room at the Inn—and always another adventure waiting.
