Do you remember Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle?

She was the warm, witty, and magical woman who could cure children of their misbehaviors. That series was originally published over seventy years ago, and has charmed readers for generations. Now Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle’s niece, Missy, is in charge of “curing” bad behavior in this refresh of a beloved series.

Meet Missy Piggle-Wiggle! She is the young niece of Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle. Missy’s aunt has gone away unexpectedly (in search of her lost husband) and left Missy in charge of the upside-down house and the beloved animals who live there: Lester the pig, Wag the dog, and Penelope the parrot, among others.

Families in town soon realize that, like her aunt, Missy Piggle-Wiggle has inventive cures for all sorts of childhood (mis)behavior: The Whatever Cure and the Just A Minute Cure, for instance. What is a stressed out parent to do? Why, call Missy Piggle-Wiggle, of course!

New York Times-bestselling author Ann M. Martin brings her signature warmth and comic genius to a new character. And artist Ben Hatke brings it all to life! Written with the cooperation of original author Betty MacDonald’s great-granddaughter, Annie Parnell, this old favorite is brand-spanking new for today’s readers.
