Missy Piggle-Wiggle est une magicienne qui possède des remèdes indolores et particulièrement originaux pour corriger les défauts et les mauvaises habitudes des enfants. Ce roman fait suite à une série écrite par Betty MacDonald, créatrice du personnage principal, Missy Piggle-Wiggle. C'est en collaboration avec Annie Parnell (arrière-petite-fille de Betty MacDonald) que l'auteure Ann M. Martin a relevé ce défi. Humour, gentillesse, compassion et imagination sont au rendez-vous. Et les superbes illustrations de Ben Hatke sont un bonus non négligeable. Bref, ce fut un plaisir de lire cette histoire.

Living with Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle were Wag the dog, Lightfoot the cat, Penelope the talking Parrot, and Lester the pig, who didn't talk but had exquisite manners and also liked to drink four or five cups of coffee at every meal.
Melody looked directly at Missy. "The bookstore?"
"Aha! You're a reader," said Missy.
"How can you tell?"
"By your eyes. True readers look fond and excited when the subject of books and bookstores comes up."

Since Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle was indeed magic, she kept a cupboard stocked with potions and powders and vapory things meant to cure children of any number of bad habits.
MISSY PIGGLE-WIGGLE SAT in the rocking chair on her front porch and ruminated, which is an unnecessarily adult way of saying she was thinking things over.
