R.L. Stein meets Lemony Snicket with a dash of Brothers Grimm in this new early reader series that gives a nod to cautionary tales of the past and tugs at the readers imagination.

Meet Selma of the Rin-Run Royals, a clever little girl who is spoiled to the core. One day Selma stumbles upon a band of colorful marionettes, and gets more than she bargained for. The remarkable Squickerwonkers of the fabulous Squickershow are about to teach Selma that shell not always get her way.

Reviews

I spent Saturday morning reading The Squickerwonkers and discovered something new every time. The way that the words and illustrations work together so flawlessly. . . . This series is unlike anything else that I've come across in a while and I can't wait to have the books on my shelves and put them in the hands of kids." --Lauren D'Alessio, Wellesley Books, Wellesley, MA
