Game: Remove one letter from a book title and what's the new plot?

Kagato

As the title suggests, the point of this is to take a pre-existing book title, remove a single letter from it and come up with a suitable new plot  for the new title.  Put the deleted letter in brackets.

Examples:
Harry Potter and the Goblet of (F)Ire - Harry discovers a sentient cup that has a penchant for insulting everyone that crosses it's path due to it's hatred of magic. Chaos ensues.

The Light(n)ing Thief - A story about a disillusioned stagehand that takes revenge on his colleague by stealing all the stage spotlights.

Makai

The A(r)t of War - A simple mistake in mentioning everyone turns into a giant troll war where there are mention pings around the clock coming from all sides.

Coraline

Ugly duck(l)ing - adventures of a horrendously ugly person who spends time ducking away from people to avoid scaring them?

Makai

To echo @Kagato:

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's (S)Tone - Harry is having a really downer semester as his new potions teacher has a serious condescending tone.

Makai

Another one!

The Boo(k) Thief - Mario is tired of dealing with the boo's while trying to rescue Peach, so he devises a massive heist to steal every single boo block in the kingdom.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factor[y] - A modern day reimagining of the classic tale, Charlie Bucket gets selected to be a participant on Willy Wonka's newest reality TV show, the Chocolate Factor - a cross between Survivor: Candyland and the Hunger Games. Charlie and the other contestants have to survive the mad chocolatier's factory, fending off savage attacks by Oompa Loompas, escaping deadly traps, and trying to stop the madman at his own game. Who will survive?

The Lion, the [w]Itch, and the Wardrobe - Conman Edmund Pevensie is on the lam after a spectacularly failed job, escaping only with a wardrobe he thought was full of priceless antiques, but instead just has old circus clothes. Wearing them as a disguise, Edmund is soon mistaken for their previous owner, the lion tamer extraordinaire Digory Kirke. Just one thing keeps it from being the perfect disguise... Edmund gets a rash around giant cats! Will he manage to escape with the Narnia Bros Trvelling Circus before his allergies blow his cover? Or will famed circus performer, the White Witch, discover his secret and turn him over to the law?

Pri[n]ce Caspian - Edmund Pevensie is at it again! Retired from a life of crime, he's moved one rung up the ladder to used car salesman. Calling himself "Price" Caspian, he offers the best deals in Narnia--even if all he sells are lemons. But with his business going under and "Uncle" Miraz of the Telmarine mafia looking to collect on his debts, Edmund's troubles are far from over.

The Voyage of the Dawn [t]Reader - Eustace Scrubb knows the law--he's just terrible at practicing it. Nicknamed "the Dawn Reader" at Narnia College of the Law because of his habit of waking up at dawn to cram for the day's exam, he's still never won a case in court. But when his cousin Edmund Pevensie is framed for a crime he actually -didn't- commit, Eustace begins a journey to the far reaches of Narnia to track down the seven witnesses who will clear Edmund's name.

The Silver [c]Hair - Edmund Pevensie is going grey. Faced with advancing years and failing health, he knows it's time to reconcile with his long lost son, Rilian, who has been missing for ten years. Eustace Scrubb and his girlfriend Jill Pole set out to find him. A touching tale of love, betrayal, and family.

The Ho[r]se and His Boy - No one believes Shasta when he says his garden hose is a psychic shapeshifter named Bree, least of all the staff at the Calormen Institute for Psychiatrically Disturbed Youths. But when a new girl named Aravis is admitted and reveals that she too has a shapesifting hose that talks to her, he realizes they need to escape back to Narnia. But will the help of two sentient garden hoses be enough?
