Missy Piggle-Wiggle and the Whatever Cure

Missy Piggle-Wiggle and the Whatever Cure
By Ann M. Martin with Annie Parnell Mrs.
Feiwel and Friends, 2016. 241 p.

Piggle-Wiggle has to suddenly leave the upside down house to go searching for Mr. Piggle-Wiggle. So she asks her niece, Missy Piggle-Wiggle to come stay to help take care of everything. Missy is similar to her aunt. She is good at putting together magical cures for crazy maladies (such as the Tardiness Cure or The Gum-Smacking Cure). Kids will laugh at the crazy situations and remedies that are provided by a likeable substitute for Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle. This is a great book to read aloud to little ones or for kids who can read chapter books by themselves. And it is especially good for kids who love silliness and humor.

As Trey longs for a normal life, is there any way he can convince his dad to get out of the family business? Gordon Korman is a perennial favorit...
