About this item
Love Ramona or Judy Moody? Then you definitely need to know Piper Green! The girl with the fairy tree in her backyard returns, and this time the fairies have left her a mysterious pirate patch. Every year, Piper Green looks forward to a visit from the Sea Star, a community boat that docks at Peek-a-Boo Island and hosts a dinner. And best of all? Piper and the other kids get to serve the meal. Most years, Piper has to settle for being "mashed potato girl." But this year her mom made dessert, and everyone knows that being Pie Girl is the best role to have. But when a doctor makes a surprising diagnosis, Piper's dream of being Pie Girl may be in jeopardy. Will a gift from the fairy tree help save the day? Praise for Piper Green: "Piper has a winning combination of stubbornness, loyalty, and independence." - Publishers Weekly, Starred "Following in the fine tradition of spunky girls - Ramona, Amber Brown, Judy Moody, Clementine - Piper Green is set to make some friends in the early chapter book world." - School Library Journal's 100 Scope Notes
