This was a larger book than I intended however I do think it is great for my future classroom! This book has a lot of amazing twists and turns within the plots. This makes you want to continue reading to find out what happens. I think this is great for younger readers as they get into larger books because it will make them enjoy reading that much more.

Cute story with a delightful main character wiser than her years. End of chapter recipes.
