☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis issue contains two stories. The first features Freddy and his girlfriend encountering creaky sounds and mysterious footsteps in a house, which turn out to be caused by a man trapped in the walls dealing with spiders and cobwebs. In the second story, "Wimma the Whale," an orphaned young whale named Jumbo receives guidance from his uncle and the whale Wimma about growing up and preparing for the migration south, learning that he must make his first solo trip before being considered a mature whale; the story ends with Jumbo preparing to depart on his journey.
Freddy can't stand practicing violin—his uncle's gift that his parents insist he master—so he and his pal Stuff cook up a scheme to make the instrument disappear for good. But when a real burglar crashes the party during their fake heist, the fiddle ends up being the one thing that doesn't get stolen, leaving Freddy back where he started. With each cockamamie plan blowing up in his face, Freddy's stuck with his daily hour of musical torture.
Freddy and a friend dare each other to venture into a supposedly haunted house on their way to a masquerade party, determined to prove there's nothing spooky inside—but what they discover might shake their skepticism. When costumed partygoers show up with the same idea, the mix-up leads to some hilarious scares all around.
Nick lands a job as a super salesman for Pirate Washing Machines and gets his chance to prove himself with a demonstration model—but things go spectacularly wrong when his eager pitch meets a laundry operation that can't stop running the machine. By the time the dust settles, Nick learns exactly what the company's motto "Keep It Clean!" really means.
Freddy's got a problem: the local drag race is about to be shut down by old man Bozeman, who just bought the track—unless the club agrees to let Bozeman's son Seymour compete against them in the race. To keep the arrogant Seymour distracted, Freddy cooks up a wild scheme involving disguises, a dog whistle, and some unexpected frozen-weather mechanics. It's a hilariously over-the-top plot that proves sometimes the best way to win a race has nothing to do with horsepower.
Daniel Boone's personal courage and remarkable skill in the wilderness made him a legendary figure in American frontierland during the 1700s, from his service under British General Braddock in the French and Indian Wars to his daring exploration and settlement of Kentucky. His determination to establish colonies in the wild territory led to conflicts with Native Americans, but Boone's resilience and strategic thinking ultimately resulted in the founding of Boonesboro, opening vast new lands to American settlement and earning him a place in history.
