Now, nearly 70 years later, her singular magic can enchant a new generation, thanks to this delightful contemporary follow-up from Martin ( Rain Reign ), writing with MacDonald's great-granddaughter, Parnell." -- Publishers Weekly , starred review, A New York Times BestsellerA New York Times Notable Book Horn Book Best of 2014 Kirkus Review Best of 2014 School Library Journal Best of 2014 Publishers Weekly best of 2014 Booklist Best Book of 2014 Shelf Awareness Best of 2014Amazon Best Book of 2014"Newbery Honor author Martin is extremely successful in capturing Rose's perspective and personality... Filled with integrity and determination, Rose overcomes significant obstacles in order to do what is right." - Publisher's Weekly , starred review "If you can read, you'll love this book... It's about love and fealty, fear, hope, the release from burdens, and what kids-all kids-need but often don't get." - The New York Times Book Review "The plot here is uncontrived, the resolution completely earned, and the style whole-grain simple until it blossoms into a final sentence of homonymic joy." - The Horn Book , starred review "Simplicity, clarity, and emotional resonance are hallmarks of Rose's first-person narrative, which offers an unflinching view of her world from her perspective... A strong story told in a nuanced, highly accessible way." - Booklist, starred review, "Betty MacDonald's beloved Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle always had one-of-a-kind ways to remedy children of their annoying or impolite habits. Now, nearly 70 years later, her singular magic can enchant a new generation, thanks to this delightful contemporary follow-up from Martin ( Rain Reign ), writing with MacDonald's great-granddaughter, Parnell. Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle is off searching for her husband, 'called away some years ago by the pirates,' so great-niece Missy Piggle-Wiggle arrives in Little Spring Valley to take over her duties. After settling into the upside-down house and reacquainting herself with Mrs. Piggle Wiggle's unusual pets, Missy follows in her great-aunt's footsteps, using a 'Greediness Cure' on Petulance Freeforall (it shrinks everything she claims for herself) and a watch that chimes with 'the sound of a thousand bells gonging and a million phones ringing' to help with Heavenly Earwig's tardiness, among other humorous fixes. (The authors are more than up to the task of coming up with wonderfully oddball names for the children, as in MacDonald's original books.) Missy's blossoming romance with a quirky bookstore owner gives this magical tale extra spice." -- Publishers Weekly , starred review
