(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Natalie Andrewson. Pixie (The Secret Destiny of Pixie Piper) and her pet goose, Destiny, head to Chuckling Goose Farm, a summer camp for Mother Goose rhymers. There Pixie and other girls bake "wishing cakes" to fulfill their sacred mission: "keeping hope alive in the world." Worries of fitting in and the potential return of a nemesis don't dampen Pixie's plucky spirit in her second heartwarming if saccharine romp.

(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Natalie Andrewson. A girl with a talent for rhyme learns that she is a descendant of Mother Goose. Evil witches, not-so-nice classmates, and new pet responsibilities keep her on her toes throughout this episodic (and sometimes unfocused) romp, but family and friends come first. Black-and-white spot illustrations and "Ye Olde..." chapter headings make the story at once relatable, magical, and tongue-in-cheek.
