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.

Sweet and fun and squeal-y
It's Pinkwater, what's not to love? Iggy who was introduced into The Neddiad goes on an adventure to find out where all the missing ghosts are in post WWII Los Angelos.
I thought the first book, The Neddiad, was a little better but this one was a nice continuation. It's imaginative and fun. If you're thinking about getting it for your kids or reading it to them, I'd say it's at about a 9 year old level.
