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.
