Staff Reviews


While you can see the picture of this new, plucky, young superhero, Gabby Gomez, here, you have to pick up the book to take advantage of its scratch-and-sniff, bubblegum-scented goodness!  The story is engaging as well, featuring every day villainy in the form of a purse snatcher, a snotty teacher, and a nebby classmate in this first book of an on-going series.  The end of the book, though, gives a peek at the Big Bad who is hatching a plan to destroy Gabby.  This is a great option for beginning readers.

— From The Gumazing Gum Girl! Chews Your Destiny

Description


Gabby Gomez loves to chew gum everywhere, even though Mami has warned her against it: There was the time at the art gallery. And don’t forget what happened with her tía Carmen’s parrot! But when Gabby gets gum stuck in her hair, that’s the last straw. Chewing gum is now BANNED.

But one last teeny-tiny gumball couldn’t hurt, right? It's not like Gabby will turn into gum...except, that's exactly what happens! With her new, stretch-tastic powers Gabby can help save the day, but she will have to keep her gummy alter-ego a secret from Mami or else she'll find herself in a really sticky situation.
