Book Description

Hobee and Bobit have gone on many adventures together. But after a particularly grueling quest, they are stranded when their ship sails off without them! So when Hobee decides to undertake the mission of exploring the great wide ocean in search of other half-duck-half-mice, he enlists the help of the Head Tool Teeker, D.J., to build him some special equipment. Setting off in their brand new cycle-sub, Hobee and Bobit plunge into the sea, and into a whirlwind adventure. They encounter the Skoodaddles and helping them in getting rid of their bullies. In return the Skoodaddles give Hobee a map of the Northern Pacific Ocean floor and the secrets to the hidden Gates of Ambiguous that lead to unknown Oceans. In their explorations they find a small island called the Island of Pretend. The King there is a bully and makes others do things they don't want to do. In their search of the small island they find out how to navigate by using the stars and find more clues left by the Marching Rodent Explorers. This is only the beginning for Hobee, Bobit, and their cycle-sub. Join them for more heroic adventures in Hobee's Quest in the Deep, and help bring peace and prosperity to creatures all over the world! Robert B.
