Magnolia Mudd and the Super Jumptastic Launcher Deluxe

Meet Magnolia Mudd: an inventive girl whod rather tighten a nut and a bolt than tie a ribbon or bow. For Magnolia Mudd, her Uncle Jamie is the very best grown-up. He always invents cool things with her . . . until the day he and Miss Emily announce their engagement. Thats bad enough―but even worse, Miss Emily wants Magnolia to be a FLOWER GIRL! No way is Magnolia tossing petals. But it turns out that Uncle Jamies new bride-to-be may be more fun that Magnolia ever imagined . . .
