Scratching my Head: Review
Good news: Major Mama Drama was recommended to K-5 students.
Bad news: Despite what the review says, Peter Pan/Wendy/Plays aren't even mentioned in the story. (Posted on a Denver Public Schools site.)
Their review:
"Katherine can’t believe how insistent her mother has become about her trying out for the part of Wendy in the school production of Peter Pan. Her mother keeps pulling out photos and old costumes from when she played the part of Wendy. She keeps talking about making it a family tradition. How is Katherine ever going to break it to her mother that she doesn’t want the part of Wendy?
Books in this series, Katherine the Almost Great, are full of family drama and fun. These books are for middle elementary age readers who are ready to step up from beginning reader books to easy chapters. Scattered pen and ink drawings add interest to the story but don’t overwhelm.
(It does sound cute but I digress...)
The blurb on my book:
Major Mama Drama: Katharine knows her mom’s super-duper secret and thinks it’s a super-duper dud! Mrs. Carmichael is the new cook at Liberty Corner School-Katharine’s school! When her mom blows her kisses, bans fries from the menu, and delivers sour milk to her classroom, Katharine’s stomach does a flip-flop belly drop. Can Katharine survive her major mama drama?
At least they correctly summarized (and recommended!) The Red, White, and Blue Crew.
