Description: "With an energetic, bright, and outgoing narrator in Stanley, there is never a dull moment. Lightly fantastical with plenty of emotional heft, this will please young readers who like their stories to have some depth." - Booklist "Mr. Gedrick is the fairy godfather every child needs: present, engaging, and thoughtful. The funny and comforting way this lovely family slowly turns away from sadness is a balm for all readers--there are not many like it on the shelves." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "A modern Mary Poppins in a green felt suit and a tiny, temperamental car that seems to hold everything in its trunk, Mr. Gedrick [brings] magic to mundane chores and arranging adventures that bring the three Darrow children and their mother closer together and help them move forward. A satisfying, whimsical story about a grieving family finding their way back to one another." - Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books PRAISE FOR THE FIZZOPOLIS SERIES: "Fizzopolis bubbles over with belly burps-and belly laughs." - Tom Watson, New York TImes betselling author of the Stick Dog series "Carman's wacky words and Sheesley's loony artwork go together like soda pop and belches!" - Tom Angleberger, New York Times bestselling author of the Origami Yoda series "Lots of kooky laughs for aspiring mad scientists who are going to want to make their own Fizzies." - Jim Benton, New York Times bestselling author of the Franny K.
