Madame Pomreeda

Madame Pomreeda is a character in JumpStart Adventures 4th Grade: Haunted Island.

JumpStart Adventures 4th Grade: Haunted Island (1996)
Madame Pomreeda gives the player the challenges needed to save each kid. Each time she is visited, Madame Pomreeda gives the user one of four cards, each containing three challenges. After the user finishes with four cards, Madame Pomreeda will use the collected objects to determine what the child's true personality is & say a poem aloud to change the kid back. These poems, the spells she uses to activate her crystal ball & the cards she gives the user all make great use of rhyming couplets.

Madame Pomreeda's apparently lives in a circus carriage at the end of the island opposite of Ms. Grunkle's house. Although she, her carriage & her magic seem to be very reminiscent of popular depictions of Gypsies, she is blonde-haired & blue-eyed & therefore does not have the physical appearance typically associated with the Roma people. According to Flap, Pomreeda has a "rotten sense of humor," considering the bugs in the Spider's Web activity cute.

Trivia

 * Her name is a play on 'palm reader'.
 * In the finale, the crystal ball and the carriage becomes locked and can't be used anymore.
