      This book is for Ms. K’s very special third-grade class. It is the first class I ever worked with in a school system. A girl called Danni gave me the name for my title character, Mrs. P. G. Mumbledypeg, when she teasingly called me that one day. Becky won an alternate book title competition I proposed, and her title was, Help, Help, Mrs. Peabody Mumbledypeg. They are all winners in MY book!

      Mrs. Peabody G. Mumbledypeg raised up on her pillow and squinted at her alarm clock. She grabbed it off the table for a closer look. It was two a.m. It was the third night in a row she had not gotten much sleep. The modern world was a mess—a big fat mess. She had not realized how very bad it was until last week. She still had the heebie jeebies over the events of the week before.

      You see, Mrs. Peabody G. Mumbledypeg had enjoyed her life as a kind of, almost hermit on the edge of the wilderness. She did not go into town much. She did not have a cell phone or cable TV and had only gotten a computer the previous year—and it had been a gift from a relative who was concerned that she did not know how to use one. She did have two old television sets, but they were just tuned into local stations. One was UHF and one was VHF She still played albums on a record player and had a large collection of cassette tapes.

      Mrs. P. G. Mumbledypeg had done various and sundry jobs throughout her lifetime. She used these jobs to pay for necessities, and like most other artistic people, she craved as much spare time as she could get for her
