Petunia Perry and the Curse of the Ugly Pigeon

Just the title of this book makes us giggle. So does Petunia’s name. And all the rest of it too. We think it ought to have a public health warning. TOO FUNNY. DANGER TO DIGNITY.

And her weird suitor, who pretends she’s a unicorn. Those things aren’t really Peri’s fault. But now she’s formed a band with a spoon-player and a singing cat. This time, she can only blame herself. And that cursed ugly pigeon, of course…
