Five very enthusiastic stars!
Age range: Middle school and up
Oh. My. Word! What a delightful read! I had a smile on my face from page one and kept it all the way to the end.
Full credit to the author who kept the humor while keeping a valid moral to the story. The poor girl in 7th grade who loses her friend to a cross-world move, not only has to deal with school all by herself, but has to endure humiliation by bullies, family awkwardness, grades, and to top it all off has to live in a zoo. She gains her confidence and shines in the midst, coming out on top.
A great read for parents and for those in middle school who might be struggling a bit. There is a second book (which I will be looking for) but it can stand alone. Highly, Highly recommend!
