Reviews

"Delightful and spot on for the middle grade experience...what a fun choice for a mother daughter book club. Laugh out loud funny and great opportunities for moms to share their own sixth grade experiences as they flood back after reading this."
Deb Marshall, Just Deb - http://www.debamarshall.com
"The page design is appealing, with great doodles on almost every page..."
Nicole Rowlinson, Resource Links

"...a simply told yet fast-paced and colourful blend of humour and drama...well-rounded, credible characters. This book will certainly appeal to female readers. Highly Recommended."

Karen Rankin, CM: Canadian Review of Materials
"Becky Lennox...is a character that readers will love right from the hilarious opening paragraph. I love the message the story delivered: if you have a sense of humour, an annoying family, and an open heart, you already have everything you need to survive."
