PIPER GREEN AND THE FAIRY TREE, Book #2: Too Much Good

Ellen Potter

Luck

Book two of Ellen Potter's charming new illustrated early chapter book series set on an island off the coast of Maine, where kids, lobster boats, and a hint of magic are part of everyday life.
As far as Piper Green is concerned, the day started out lucky:
• Lucky thing #1: Her mom is painting Piper's bedroom her favorite color.
• Lucky thing #2: Piper found a perfect strawberry at breakfast.
• Lucky thing #3: Piper lost a tooth. And as everyone knows, tooth + tooth fairy = ka-ching!

There's just one problem. According to her friend Jacob, too much good luck can sometimes equal bad luck. And when Piper gets to school that day, Bad Luck is waiting for her. Will the Fairy Tree in Piper's front yard be enough to break her unlucky streak?

Ellen Potter is the acclaimed writer of the Olivia Kidney series (Philomel); Slob (Philomel, 2009); Pish Posh (Philomel, 2006); The Kneebone Boy (Feiwel and Friends, 2011); The Humming Room (Feiwel and Friends, 2012); the Otis Dooda series (Feiwel and Friends, 2013); and has written a writer's guide for kids, Spilling Ink (Roaring Brook Press 2010). Her work has been heralded as containing “dashes of Dahl, snippets of Snicket, and heaps of Horvath” (Booklist). She and her family live in Maine.

Comments

"Skillfully blending humor, pathos, and warmth with an atmospheric setting, Potter has created an honest, empathic slice-of-life story, laced with a touch of magic. Piper has a winning combination of stubbornness, loyalty, and independence, which Leng ably portrays in her loosely inked, gently humorous artwork." --Publishers Weekly, starred review

"With its intriguing setting, sympathetic characters, and hint of magic, this new chapter-book series should charm fledgling readers. --Kirkus Reviews

"Piper is brave and tough on the surface, and her sense of loss lies at the heart of the conflict. Written with humor as well as pathos, the first-person text shows her confused emotions and her resiliency as well. An appealing debut for the series." --Booklist
