Description: "[An] engaging fantasy... Characters, even the secondary ones, are memorable and add much to the story. ...Middle-grade readers will enjoy this book with its hints of magic, well-limned characters, and that totally appealing gosling." - Kirkus Reviews "This entertaining, creative take on Mother Goose stories blends magic, humor, suspense, and literary allusions with a lively cast and plenty of verse. Pixie's an engaging protagonist, who faces both fantastical challenges along with familiar issues...this will draw fans of classic tales with a twist." - Booklist Online "Pixie's...bubbly enthusiasm is pretty darn charming, and it serves her well when she must face down the evil Raveneece Greed. ...Sweet, silly, and just scary enough to give the story tension, this will please readers both familiar and unfamiliar with Jack and Jill or Humpty Dumpty." - Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "Readers will warm to Pixie and her familiar struggle to feel normal despite her beloved but eccentric parents. ...A fresh new addition to middle grade stories of magic and friendship; recommended for fans of Kathryn Littlewood's 'Bliss Bakery' series and Chris Colfer's 'Land of Stories' series." - School Library Journal
