review 1: Loved it, but I agree the ending is a bit of a blindside for an unsuspecting child reader. It felt like an end was untied with Slow Poke, as well. That said, I loved the characters - especially The Diaper Gang, who were absolutely hilarious...especially in how they got their nickname.Turtle holds her own as a character, as well. I like the pics at the end of the book and the backstory.Lots of wit in this story - kept me happily entertained.
review 2: My daughter picked up a huge pile of books from the library. I had to read through some of them to make sure I was fine with her reading them. This was one of them. It is a very fun book to read, one that I would be happy to let her read. It is about a girl in the depression in the 30's and she is sent to he... morer Aunts house in Key West Florida. The kids there are poor, but quick as a whip. The dialogue was hilarious for me as an adult. It was really fun to read, and felt like the experience and descriptions were an accurate depiction of how life could have been. It was based on the authors great grandmother. less
