* "Stellar. . . . Will surely appeal to a wide audience.
"--Kirkus Reviews, starred review * "Certain to fit
the bill for just about any child looking for a good laugh or
20."--Publishers Weekly, starred review * "This book
supports free choice reading, but has the potential to be the
culprit that interrupts silent sustained reading because girls will
break out in giggles or outright laughter." -School Library
Connection, starred review "Timely . . . girl-power humor for
the middle-grade set."--The Bulletin of the Center for
Children's Books "These stories are bound to engage most
readers and tickle ribs."--School Library Journal "Hilarious
and heartfelt, this won't only appeal to future funny girls and
boys, it'll inspire them."--Booklist
