Reviews

[Sean Harding · Rating 3 out of 5]

Well done Goodreads for saying the book is written by the illustrator and leaving the authors name out altogether - for those playing at home the book was written by Margaret Clark.
It is another in the Mango Street series of books and is basically wacky as the title would suggest. More fun here from Clark with her assortment of strange characters.
