In 1890s South Dakota, Amy and Joshua escape from their mean Aunt Vootch.

Mortimer owns a truly magic hat with a temperamental, mischievous mind of its own. Adventures abound as their way is blocked by outlaws, runaway hot-air balloons, geese, and their persistent Aunt Vootch. But The Magic Hat of Mortimer Wintergreen is always ready for action.A Junior Literary Guild Selection "Buoyant comedy. A fine addition to stories that truly entertain."(Kirkus review)
