Zoomi and Zoe and the Tricky Turnaround - Hardcover
by Corey Ann Haydu (Author), Anne Appert (Illustrator)
The Princess in Black meets Monsters, Inc. in this zany, heartwarming new series for early readers 4 to 8 years old!
Written by the acclaimed Corey Ann Haydu with sweet, quirky illustrations by Anne Appert, the Zoomi and Zoe series explores the wonder and anxiety of life's first big transitions with warmth, whimsy, and plenty of silliness. In GlumbleGlibble, one ritual is certain: when something hard happens, it's called a Tricky Turnaround. And when it does, a Happy Helpful Human from the "real" world will help you through it. But when Zoomi's best friend moves away and Zoe arrives, she doesn't seem very happy. Or helpful. Or excited about the party Zoomi threw for her--complete with toothbrushes and tuba music. In fact, Zoe may be in a Tricky Turnaround of her own. Can Zoomi and Zoe help each other with the trickiest parts of growing up, like saying goodbye to friends and making new ones? "This wholly magical, wholly child-centered story of GlumbleGlibblers and the humans who love them reads like rolling down a rainbow mud slide to find a picnic waiting at the bottom. With cake, of course."--Liz Garton Scanlon, author of the Bibsy Cross series Keep an eye out for book two, The Sibling Situation, launching in August 2025!Corey Ann Haydu is the author of many critically acclaimed books for young readers, including Eventown, Lawless Spaces, Ever Cursed, and One Jar of Magic.
