About the author

Margaret McNamara is the Christopher Award–winning author of more than two dozen books for young readers, including the Robin Hill School series. The Fairy Bell Sisters series is inspired not only by her love of the classic sisterhood novel Little Women but by her own experiences growing up with older sisters (and a baby brother). Margaret and her family live in New York City, but they spend part of their summer on an island in Maine very much like Sheepskerry Island.

Eloise knows what’s up. It’s so much easier and more fun to order room service than to cook!

[Dolly · Rating 3 out of 5]

The irrepressible Eloise is back with a beginner reader that is fun for both parents and children. She is so enthusiastic with everything she does.

We enjoy reading the books about her, even though I'm so tempted to say that she is just a spoiled, neglected-by-her-parents, rich brat. I didn't say that aloud, did I? I suppose this is one way to describe how "the other half live" (or is it more like "the other one percent"?) Our girls love these books, but for some reason, the stories always make me cringe.

Yes, Eloise is a spoiled brat, but my kids love reading about her. This is especially important for beginning readers, and Eloise keeps their interest well.
