4-6Magnificent Tales of Misadventure series.
Illustrated by
Valerio Fabbretti.
After saving New Winkieland (Blue in the Face), Elspeth dreads the return to school. So she's somewhat relieved when Georgie Porgie and Gene the loudmouth stick appear, begging her to save their queen. Elspeth must use bravery--and her signature bratty 'tude--in a battle against Mary Mary Quite Contrary. A twisted nursery rhyme concludes each chapter of this second whimsical, irreverent (mis)adventure.
