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.

About the Author:
From AudioFile:
Elise Primavera has been writing and illustrating children’s books for more than twenty-five years. She is the author of Marigold Star, The Secret Order of the Gumm Street Girls, and the Ms. Rapscott’s Girls series for middle graders, and her picture book Auntie Claus has sold more than half a million copies. Visit her at www.eliseprimavera.com.
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.
