SECRET ORDER OF THE GUMM STREET GIRLS

Elise Primavera's first novel offers good fun with offbeat humor, wordplay, and the hint of more adventures to come. Colleen Delany's performance is a treat for the ears. Her vocal talents are prodigious as she creates unique voices and personalities for the four Gumm Street girls and every strange character they meet. Franny, Pru, and Cat have been unfriendly neighbors forever, with nothing in common but the street they live on. When Ivy moves in, burdened by a jinx who has haunted her for seven years, the four discover they need each other and their unique talents to find their way home through the magic of friendship.
