In "Eloc, Master of Mischief," Professor Abelson convinces the perpetually befuddled Woozy to help him steal a Greek statue he’s brought back to life—only to unleash Eloc, a mischievous spirit whose chaotic antics once brought down a city. Now freed from stone, Eloc’s playful malice threatens to spiral out of control, and it’s up to Woozy to keep the chaos contained—before it’s too late.
