Reviews

[Anna Staniszewski's] voice is spot-on. Hilarious, charming, moving, wacky, smart. - Janet Fox, Through the Wardrobe

Staniszewski keeps the focus on comedy...but she lets her story become a bit more serious with the pranks Rachel plays. Clearly, Rachel will learn a few life lessons as she stumbles through her summer, but they go down easy in this narrative peppered with such amusing catchphrases as Oh my goldfish and What the Shrek? Gentle fun laced with equally gentle wisdom. - Kirkus

Tween readers who find Rachel endearing will find a fast-paced comedy of errors. - School Library Journal

- Booklist
