Mercy Watson to the Rescue
by Victoria Stewart
Based on the books by Kate DiCamillo
Mr. and Mrs. Watson think that 54 Deckawoo Drive will be the perfect home for their family–especially their beloved Mercy. But when Eugenia Lincoln gets wind that her new neighbor is a P-I-G (or a porcine wonder, depending on your point of view), Eugenia stirs up trouble of the most hilarious sort. Mercy Watson to the Rescue has a little comic mayhem, inadvertent heroism, and, of course, hot buttered toast.
“Victoria Stewart has penned a sharp and smart adaptation of the book series by Kate DiCamillo… be prepared to walk out of the theater with a powerful hankering for buttered toast." -How Was the Show
"Mercy Watson to the Rescue is aimed at the youngest of audiences and contains all the madcap humor and lightheartedness to completely captivate them. ~ Star Tribune
