Finbar’s Fiddle

What happened after the cow jumped over the moon?

Well, a lot happened, actually, and most of it never made it into Mother Goose’s book of rhymes. Eleven-year-old Dallas McAllister discovers that when she wakes up one morning dangling from a giant willow tree. Rescued by a fiddling cat named Finbar, Dallas makes her way through Gooseland looking for Mother Goose.

Using her knowledge of the rhymes, Dallas becomes famous for her ability to know the future. But when Old King Cole sends her deep into the Far Forest to rescue Humpty Dumpty, Dallas needs more than rhymes to stay alive. After all, the rhymes never said anything about cruel trolls and hungry wolves. How can a girl from Nebraska and a fiddling cat do what all the king’s men could not?
Listen carefully. Can you hear the fiddle in the trees?
