Ross Collins.
In their fourth adventure, Gracie Gillypot and friends face ancient Granpappy Canker, who plans to reverse his banishment through trickery and hypnotic cooking. As usual, humor and hilarity abound. French's light prose is buoyed by Collins's black-and-white sketches, which capture the absurd characters at just the right moments.
