(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Abigail Halpin. Rich-girl Penelope, bored, makes a wish that something interesting will happen, like in her favorite classic children's books. Next thing she knows, her father quits his job; the family, resources dwindling, moves to small-town Tennessee. There Penny meets many quirky characters and broadens her life experiences. Snyder's gently satirical story is well paired with Halpin's winning black-and-white illustrations.
