Customer Reviews

Very funny without losing sight of important lessons...

I had never read Martha Freeman's books, and being a clerk in a library's youth services dept., I felt perhaps I should get to know her - and I'm very glad I did! This book is terribly funny, but it isn't fluff by any means. The characters are highly, believable, especially Molly, through whose eyes we see what goes on. Martha knows kids. In this day and age of extra fluff and alarming mediocrity, I'm thrilled to know that there are still authors for kids who can feel their way through kids' minds, who can teach us lessons without being smarmy, and who can write humorously without losing depth.
