The Incredible Adventures of Captain MacDuddyfunk in Cuggermuggerland has been written primarily for readers of junior fiction. Adults will also recognize the benefit of its content. Allison (11 years) and Richard (9 years), the children of Canada's Minister of Missing Islands, are magically transported to the mysterious island of Cuggermuggerland, somewhere off the coast of Newfoundland, by Captain MacDuddyfunk and his nephew, a grade four school teacher, Bruce MacDuddyfunk. During their adventures, the children meet the Quidnuncs, a happy, peace-loving people who love to gossip, and the Shilpits, who enjoy bullying their neighbours and constantly scream and shout at each other. Captain MacDuddyfunk escorts the two children through a series of exciting adventures, culminating in Allison and Richard showing the Quidnuncs and the Shilpits that two diverse communities can indeed come together to live in harmony. In addition, after every chapter, there are spaces where children can freely draw many of the characters mentioned in the book.
