An appealing addition, featuring an African American protagonist, for all middle grade collections; hand to readers who enjoy friendship drama and gentle realism.
Schools and libraries where the Sammy Spider books are popular will welcome this latest addition, which could also be helpful in preparing a young child who is attending a bar or bat mitzvah ceremony for the first time.
A solid addition to collections serving upper middle grade and middle school readers. Hand to fans of goofy, realistic school stories.
While the book focuses on the Moon Festival and has fantastical elements, those seeking stories that emphasize the spiritualism of Buddhism and more developed depictions of Chinese culture should try Carolyn Marsden and Thay Niem's The Buddha's Diamonds and Grace Lin's titles. An additional purchase only.
With a strong female lead and a straightforward writing style, this title will appeal to fans of crime fiction who are interested in gender and class issues.
A humorous pick for large STEM collections; great for readers not quite ready for Deborah Heiligman's Charles and Emma: The Darwins' Leap of Faith.
