The Secret Order of the Gumm Street Girls

Franny longs for adventure but can''t 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 that''s about to get a whole lot worse. They have nothing in common except for the name of their street. And the fact that they dislike one another. A lot . The four are thrown together when a pair of mysterious ruby-red slippers turns 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.
