Mercy Watson: Princess in Disguise Paperback – Illustrated, June 4, 2010
Purchase options and add-ons
When the Watsons decide to zip their porcine wonder into a formfitting princess dress for Halloween — complete with tiara — they are certain that Mercy will be beautiful beyond compare. Mercy is equally certain she likes the sound of trick-or-treating and can picture piles of buttered toast already. As for the Lincoln Sisters next door, how could they know that their cat would lead them all on a Halloween "parade" of hysterical proportions? Kate DiCamillo’s beguiling pig is back in a tale full of treats, tricky turns, hijinks, and high humor.

Read the adorable series by America's beloved storyteller Kate DiCamillo! | The instant New York Times bestseller! In a delightful origin story for the star of the Mercy Watson series, a tiny piglet brings love (and chaos) to Deckawoo Drive — and the Watsons’ lives will never be the same. | To Mr. and Mrs. Watson, Mercy is not just a pig — she's a porcine wonder. And to Mercy, the Watsons are an excellent source of buttered toast, not to mention that buttery-toasty feeling she gets when she snuggles into bed with them. | One day the Watsons' car ride takes an unexpected turn when their elderly neighbor Baby Lincoln pops up in the backseat in hopes of some "folly and adventure" — and in the chaos that ensues, an exuberant Mercy ends up behind the wheel! | Leroy Ninker is a small man with a big dream: he wants to be a cowboy, but for now he's just a thief. In fact, Leroy is robbing the Watsons' kitchen right this minute! Little does he know that Mercy is stirring from sleep. | When the Watsons decide to zip their porcine wonder into a formfitting princess dress for Halloween — complete with tiara — they are certain that Mercy will be beautiful beyond compare. Return for a tale full of treats, tricky turns, and high humor. |

Mercy's appetite has got her into trouble again. When Eugenia Lincoln's pansies go missing, Animal Control Officer Francine Poulet arrives on the scene. But as she soon discovers, not just anyone can think like a pig - especially Mercy Watson! | Some may find it wonky to take a pig to the drive-in. But not the Watsons, who think the movie’s title, When Pigs Fly, is inspirational. And not Mercy, who is inspired by the theater’s Bottomless Buckets of popcorn. Tune in for the latest adventure! | When Stella gets the idea to go caroling, she has a little trouble getting someone to join her. Will Stella need to sing by herself, or does the evening hold a miracle Stella hadn’t expected? Perfect for read aloud, and a Mercy ornament is included! | Read the first book in Kate DiCamillo's new warm and funny early-reader trilogy about Orris the kind rat and Timble the naive owl — and the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Ideal for Mercy and Deckawoo fans! |

About the author
Kate DiCamillo’s writing journey has been a truly remarkable one. She grew up in Florida and moved to Minnesota in her twenties, when homesickness and a bitter winter led her to write Because of Winn-Dixie — her first published novel, which became a runaway bestseller and snapped up a Newbery Honor. The Tiger Rising, her second novel, was also set in Florida and went on to become a National Book Award finalist. Since then, the best-selling author has explored settings as varied as a medieval castle and a magician’s theater while continuing to enjoy great success, winning two Newbery Medals and being named National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature. She now has over 40 million books in print worldwide.
