Publisher’s Blurb:
Meet Pippa Morgan, a small girl with a BIG imagination, and read her
hilarious diary, packed with doodle illustrations. It's nearly Valentine's Day
and Pippa's class have been given a project all about 'lurve' - blargh! Luckily
for Pippa, there are lots of things she loves - like chicken nuggets and TV
detectives, and her best friend forever, Catie Brown. Then she decides to start
another project - Project Find Mum Love. Will Pippa be able to find Mum a
boyfriend by 14th Feb? And can she get Catie to taste chicken nuggets for the
first time ever? You'll have to read her super-secret diary to find out!
My Thoughts:
Perfect for the targeted third-to-fifth-graders, this quick read
features a pretty normal little girl. She’s not an outstanding genius, nor is
she a problem child. She’s just a kid, and I like that. Normal little kids need
normal little kids to read about, too.
The writing is cute and accessible, and many second-graders would be
able to handle it with no problem.
Possible Objectionable Material:
Ummm…they go to a zoo. Some people don’t like zoos. Really, I got
nothin’.
Who Would Like this Book:
It’s definitely targeted at girls, but some boys might like it, too.
The naughtiest child in the book is a boy—maybe we’re being a little sexist
here? This series is aimed at early elementary grades, and that feels right.
Thank you, NetGalley, for the ARC.
