Cody and the Fountain of Happiness

Just right for kids moving up from beginning readers, the Cody books burst with action and humor, while never losing sight of the challenges of growing up.

All Cody wants is to help. To help her mother get promoted to Head of Shoes at the department store, help her friend Spencer hypnotize his cat, and help make sure her big brother Wyatt wins the girl of his dreams (or nightmares). So how come Mom winds up in trouble with her boss, Spencer’s cat gets lost, and Wyatt’s ready to die of embarrassment? In this life, many things are complicated. But just like her pet ants, Cody believes in sticking together no matter what.
