Things are quiet on The McClafferty farmhouse in Fiddle Wood
in the Scottish Borders. The McClafferty's haven't laughed, snickered, or
smiled for a couple of months. And they aren't the only ones. No one around the
world has laughed or enjoyed themselves. That's a problem. The world needs
laughter, so brother and sister, Lucy and Ben, their Uncle Patrick, and their
eccentric grandmother journey to find Gabel Lylhu, one of the ticklers of the
world. He's the only one that can make the world laugh again. Will they find
him? Can he restore things to normal, and at what cost, or will everyone remain
miserable and joyless in author Louiza Kallona's The Tickling Tale of Smoo?
