Franny longs for adventure but cant even do a cartwheel. Pru can do a cartwheel but prefers hiding under her quilt making up safety tips. Cat has no use for safety tips but supposedly has ESP. And Ivy has had a seven-year string of bad luck—a Jinx thats about to get a whole lot worse.
The four are thrown together when a pair of mysterious ruby red slippers turn up, along with the fashionably mad Cha-Cha Staccato, who bears a frightening resemblance to a certain wicked witch. . . .
As hilarious as it is original, The Secret Order of the Gumm Street Girls is an unforgettable take on girlhood, piano recitals, The Wizard of Oz, and the dependable everyday magic of true friendship.
Love Great Books? This is for you...
What can I say? My daughter read this book, then came to me saying, "Mom. You. Have. To. Read. This. Book. Amazing." So, I reluctantly read the book, all the while thinking, "Why am I reading a children's book?" But by the third chapter, I was hooked. The lives of Pru, Cat, Franny, and Ivy were truly engaging. I went into Gumm Street thinking that I would just make my daughter happy, but ended up making Elise Primavera's Secret Order of the Gumm Street Girls one of my favorites. This book is magical, portraying friendship, and even The Wizard of Oz, in an unexpectedly refreshing light. I, and my daughter, are satisfied, and recommend this book to absolutely anyone!
