There has never been a museum in Cranbury...until now. Among its treasures are the first bike each of the Moffat kids rode, stardust from a meteor that fell to earth, a beautiful painting made by Sylvie, and—most spectacularly—Rufus, the Waxworks Boy, who is as funny as he is waxy. The imaginative museum is so interesting that Mr. Pennypepper even brings tourists to visit. But the museum is really for Jane, Joey, and Rufus themselves, so they can remember all the good times they’ve had in this heartwarming story about family life. Because life is changing for the Moffats. Yet even if Sylvie gets married, or Joey goes off to work, or Rufus grows up, one thing will never change: The Moffats are still the sort to hilariously fill even the most ordinary day with extraordinary fun. A Timeless Children’s Classic: Rediscover the book that has charmed readers for generations with its gentle humor and unforgettable characters. Unforgettable Sibling Story: Join Jane, Joey, and Rufus Moffat as they navigate big changes like a sister’s wedding and a brother’s first job, all while making their own fun. The Power of Imagination: What do you do when your town has no museum? If you’re a Moffat, you build your own in the barn—complete with stardust and a hilarious living "Waxworks Boy." Nostalgic Small-Town Setting: Step back in time to early 20th-century Cranbury, Connecticut, where ordinary days become extraordinary adventures for a family you’ll never forget.
