The Princess in Black meets Monsters, Inc. in this zany, heartwarming new series for early readers 4 to 8 years old!

Written by the acclaimed Corey Ann Haydu with sweet, quirky illustrations by Anne Appert, the Zoomi and Zoe series explores the wonder and anxiety of life’s first big transitions with warmth, whimsy, and plenty of silliness.

In GlumbleGlibble, one ritual is certain: when something hard happens, its called a Tricky Turnaround. And when it does, a Happy Helpful Human from the real world will help you through it.

But when Zoomis best friend moves away and Zoe arrives, she doesnt seem very happy. Or helpful. Or excited about the party Zoomi threw for hercomplete with toothbrushes and tuba music. In fact, Zoe may be in a Tricky Turnaround of her own. Can Zoomi and Zoe help each other with the trickiest parts of growing up, like saying goodbye to friends and making new ones?

This wholly magical, wholly child-centered story of GlumbleGlibblers and the humans who love them reads like rolling down a rainbow mud slide to find a picnic waiting at the bottom. With cake, of course.Liz Garton Scanlon, author of the Bibsy Cross series
