The Story:
"Second grade stinks! Francie O'Leary thinks her life
couldn't get any worse. She has last year's lunch box
and a mean nun nicknamed Sister Grizzly for a teacher,
and then Annabelle Carter calls her 'Fancy Francie with
the stupid sneakers.' But the worst is getting chosen to
play Toto her her class puts on Wizard of Oz. Will
second grade ever get better?"
- Hyperion
What critics say:
"Macdonald keeps the story moving with lively
dialogue and plenty of realistic childlike minidramas;
Christelow reflects her deft characterizations in
lightly humorous black and white art. A fine early
chapter book."
- Kirkus
"Macdonald has created a warm and witty family, who
may irritate one another but are always there in times
of need… a solid choice for those requesting a humorous
beginning chapter book."
- Publisher’s Weekly
