Raised in a supportive, middle-class Philadelphia family, she developed her artistic talents early, studying art and later working as a teacher, an experience that inspired her to write for young readers.

I think this may have been my favorite Eddie book. He learns a good lesson about honesty and integrity. And as always, there’s always a great laugh out loud scenes!

Eddie winds up as campaign manager for Boodles, who isn't always doing the right thing. Eddie winds up with a dilemma on his hands as he tries to support his friend, and at the same time needs to satisfy his own moral compass.

This one has some complex issues that were interesting to explore. I felt Eddie's frustration and enjoyed reading how he solved this dilemma.
