(4) 1-3 Ms. Wiz series. Illustrated by Tony Ross. In Jail, the Mary Poppins–like title character changes a little girl into a cat in an attempt to foil some local catnappers. In Control, she saves a branch library scheduled to be closed through the use of magical "fish powder." Black-and-white illustrations that owe a debt to Quentin Blake match the stories' madcap (verging on forced hilarity) mood. Review covers these Ms. Wiz titles: In Control, Ms. Wiz? and In Jail, Ms. Wiz?

(3) 1-3 Ms. Wiz series. Illustrated by Tony Ross. These British chapter books originally published in 1988 feature Paranormal Operative Ms. Wisdom. In Trouble, this Mary Poppins–like creature blows into St. Barnabas's and transforms a miserable class into the best group in school. In Stitches, a student needing an emergency appendectomy finds Ms. Wiz standing by as Dr. Wisdom. Funny and eccentric, these short books are light, quick, and diverting. Review covers these Ms. Wiz titles: In Stitches with Ms. Wiz and Ms. Wiz Spells Trouble.
