Our Review

This full color children's picture book takes readers on a magical adventure highlighting intergenerational bonds through an engaging storyline and detailed illustrations. The story features a grandmother, a parrot and a 6-year-old girl as main characters and is told from the first-person perspective of the child's recollections as a 10 year old. This is the first book in the "Mudpies and Mischief" Series. Mel has always known that Grandma Marjorie was special, but one sunny summer day she learns just how MARVELOUS she really is! What begins as an ordinary day of baking brownies transforms into an extraordinary adventure. Mel's safe and cozy world turns into a whirlwind of excitement as she, Grandma, and Grandma's parrot, Misty, embark on an action-packed journey through Mystic. Unexpected perils lie in wait and Mel discovers that Grandma has more surprises in store than she ever imagined.
