The four "Gumm Street girls" are relatable to tweens and early teens and the tale is interesting and humorous enough to be enjoyed by adults. Primavera makes many hints at the end to a continuation of the story and my daughter and I look forward to this, should one materialize. In Sherbert the sun is always shining, except every other day at 4:00 when it dizzles lightly. It's one of those books that I know I'll keep forever and force my children into reading (when I have some).

Primavera's comic fantasy adventure pays homage to both Baum's Oz and Hollywood's as the girls pursue the theft of a silver slipper by a wicked, though stylish, witch. Lively black-and-white illustrations woven into clear, wide-leaded text give energy and charm to nearly every page. Great fun in parts, ambitious and good-natured, with satire, invention and silliness à la Baum: Besides the girls, green teen witches and an amusingly benevolent mama potato in the land of Spudz stand out among a crowded cast of figures and places
