The Secret Order of the Gumm Street Girls
Written and Illustrated by
Elise Primavera
The Big Evil will always try to separate the Gumm Street Girls, but they can take on anything—as long as they stick together.
The Secret Order of the Gumm Street Girls opens with a question that defines the struggle of growing up: What is your unique talent?
For Franny, Pru, and Cat—neighbors in the perfect town of Sherbet—the answer is far from clear. They certainly aren’t friends—in fact they can’t stand one another. But everything changes when their eccentric piano teacher floats through his roof into the sky, leaving behind jinxed new girl, Ivy, and a single real ruby red slipper from Oz.
Plunged into a mystery they are swept away by a backward tidal wave in a champagne-colored Cadillac. These fierce rivals are hurled straight into a transformed Oz where they are immediately confronted by legendary witches. To survive and find their way home through the underground labyrinths of SPUDZ, they must look past their differences and form a secret alliance.
Blending the nostalgic grit of an all-girls Goonies with a brilliant take on girlhood, this beloved classic, The Secret Order of the Gumm Street Girls follows four unlikely heroines discovering that their bonds of friendship as well as their own unique talents are far more powerful than any magic of Oz.
