Making Mistakes on Purpose Audiobook, by Elise Primavera

Publisher Description

For seven years, bad luck has followed Ivy around like a dog on a leash. Her father disappeared. Her mother is a washed-up beauty pageant winner. Her aunt Viola has died. Viola did leave Ivy and her mother a house on Gumm Street, but it's not much of a house, and Ivy's next-door neighbors (bookish Pru, stuck-up Cat, and wannabe adventurer Franny) are worse than unfriendly. But then a mysterious pair of ruby red slippers turn up, and the four girls are swept away, not to Oz, but to the jaw-droppingly strange lands of Spoz, Spudz, and Ooze, where they are pursued by the fashionably mad Cha-Cha Staccato - who bears a frightening resemblance to a certain wicked witch.

"I took this book randomly from the youth fiction books at my library and was very pleasantly surprised. I love when I find a gem on our pathetic library's shelves. It's a charming story, and I look forward to reading more, if any are ever published."

    " It just kept getting more and more preposterous, and I rarely think that about middle readers. Perhaps I shouldn't have read it after "War and Peace." "

    " This book is very good. I recommend it to all girls 8-13. It is all about frienship, jinxes, secial talents and wicked witches! A true adventure and maybe not the best choice to read before bed if you suffer from dreams based on books! "

    " Very creative, and extremely funny. This is the perfect book for a young girl to read. The inner workings of this group of friends is exactly how real life girls are. Very big adventures and lots of funny fights between the 4 girls. "

    " I discovered this book when I was like seven and since then i read it a few tmes a year. It's probably is just the childhood nostalgia, but definitely one of my all time favourites. "

    " I loved this book. I had to read it twice to fully get the meaning of it. It is a nonsensical, fun, daring read. It is reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland. Cat, Prim, Ivy and Franny are wonderful characters, all unique. This book is a hidden gem. "

    " It took me a while to finish this book, and I enjoyed it just not much since it was big and quite confusing for my age, being a 10 year old girl. I was reading and trying to understand it. It took me time to understand the writing, but it was ok. "

    " While I am not a big fan of fantasy, this book was a hit with me! The many references to The Wizard of Oz makes me want to revisit it. (I haven't read it since I was in 5th grade; I guess I'll add that to my "to read" list.) "

    " I'm not a big Wizard of Oz fan. Since this book is sort of a spin off/follow up/it happened because of what happened in Wizard of Oz, it wasn't really my thing. It was still ok though. "
