description: When Cherryland's resident storyteller, Rosie Fryback, runs a contest to see who can come up with the best ending to one of her fairytales, Dagny is determined to win. Isn't she the one who's always making up wild stories of her own? But disaster strikes--her imagination disappears after a dictionary seems to predict her future as a kitchen maid, not a famous writer. Will moonrocks help Dagny get it back? Will her neighbour's pantry full of pickled poems? Will her friends Megan and Chris? Is her imagination really gone, or is it something else that's missing? Lynn Manuel has created a masterpiece of childhood fun, complete with riddles and resolutions, her trademarke wordplay, and, of course, plenty of ice cream.Lynn Manuel began her writing career when she moved to British Columbia in the late 1970s. She is the author of many previous books and picture books for children.
