Gr 2–5—Daisy, Lily, and Violet may be triplets, but the girls don't look alike and certainly don't have the same interests. They are, however, always caring and loyal. They cheer for Daisy at her baseball game, support Violet's science fair project, and encourage Lily when she has to recite her poem. Two of their favorite people are their Grandma Rose, their mother's mother, and Grandpa Dash, their father's father. The girls mistake the grandparents' camaraderie for something more, and end up with a big surprise. Jamieson's illustrations enliven the text.
VERDICT An enjoyable story, but an additional purchase.
Reviewed by Laura Fields Eason, Parker Bennett Curry Elementary School, Bowling Green, KY
Each of the Divine triplets has a problem: Violet is on the verge of failing science, Daisy is striking out in baseball, and Lily has to overcome her fear of public speaking. With the support of her sisters (and their new puppy, Trouble), each girl is triumphant. Readers will identify with at least one triplet in this amiable chapter book sprinkled with black-and-white illustrations.
