The third entry in the Magical Mixups series by Lynne Jonell has the Willow children getting ready for the town festival. Abner has been chosen to dress up and represent his great uncle General Abner Willow. Abner is worried about how things will go--will he forget his speech?, or fall off his horse? The other Willow children decide he needs some bravery practice. One day the children are challenged to eat some baked grasshoppers, made by Mrs. Delgado, the seamstress who is making Abner's costume. Abner bravely tries a few, and soon he is leaping 20 feet in the air. How to stop the grasshopper magic? Read the story to see if the children solve this dilemma in time for the festival.
