About this audiobook
Melvin Spellbound's humdrum life suddenly becomes extraordinary when 111-year-old Borgel arrives for a visit. In this clever, funny, off-the-wall story, Melvin's sort of Uncle Borgel seems like an Old World refugee when he shows up at the Spellbound home and moves into their back room with 32 small black suitcases. However, his true identity as an experienced time-and-space tourist is soon revealed when he takes young Melvin on a fantastic intergalactic road trip in search of The Great Popsicle.
