The Unlikely Adventures of Mabel Jones

294 pp. | Viking | June, 2015 | Trade ISBN 978-0-451-47196-3 $16.99
(4) 4-6 Mabel Jones series. Illustrated by Ross Collins. Mabel picks her nose, eats it, and consequently finds herself a prisoner among pirates who like a good pun; unless she helps them find the X, she'll never get home to London. Absurdity prevails in this whimsical voyage light on substance and rife with bad spelling, which seems to be the point. Varying typefaces and Collins's playful line illustrations amplify the zaniness.
