It is a dark and emotional story for adults and written under the pseudonym M.T. Bartone.

It tells the story of ten-year old Tilly, who has trouble making friends. Tilly loves to daydream, and in most of her dreams, she’s the most popular girl in school. It’s not a dream though, when one night, she finds a magic trapdoor hidden under her bed. She decides to check it out and soon finds herself in a secret world where she begins an adventure of magic and fun, unaware of the danger she is about to face. Maureen’s book, “Life in the Gumball Machine,” is a story about ten-year old Daisy, and her two friends, Michael, and Patrick. The three kids never imagined that a dusty old gumball machine could make them shrink small enough to be sucked inside. Once they are up inside the gumball machine, the tiny children meet two talking gumballs, and their adventure inside the magic gumball machine begins! The sequel, "Life in the Gumball Machine-Vinnie and Gordy's Return," reunites Daisy, Michael, and Patrick in their quest to help their little gumball pals, Vinnie and Gordy, return safely to their home inside the gumball machine. The kids and Vinnie and Gordy quickly learn that the real world is a dangerous place for two tiny gumball people and keeping them safe would not be as easy as they'd thought. Maureen Bartone is a St. Paul native and currently resides in the Twin Cities with her husband.
