Looking for Bobowicz: A Hoboken Chicken Story by Daniel Pinkwater, illustrated by Jill Pinkwater

Looking for Bobowicz is the story of young Nick Itch whose parents have just made him move from their comfortable suburban life to Hoboken, New Jersey. On Nick's first day in Hoboken his bicycle is stolen by a mysterious phantom who everyone seems to know about, but that no one wants to talk about.

Nick and his two new friends Loretta and Bruno work together to solve the mystery while reading comic books and meeting the many interesting characters of their neighborhood.

This is a fun and silly book, and its all good clean fun (unlike a Captain Underpants or The Day My Butt Went Psycho------even though I do enjoy those). A funny mystery story with excellent characters that kids will love.

Good for ages 8-12.
