Editorial Reviews

Gr 2–3—Frannie, known this week as Frankly, is a girl on a mission. After she gets over the initial relief of being allowed to go with her class to the local radio station—the last field trip involved some unauthorized touching of papers that led to soggy results—she decides that it is time to get a job. She fashions her own business cards and résumé, which she plans on leaving at the station during the trip. But Frankly can't help being her curious and do-gooder self, and things do not go as planned. Instead of finding a job, she finds a whole lot of on-air trouble. This beginning chapter book will find readers among fans of Ramona and Clementine, but Frannie is a personality all her own. Illustrations and changing fonts pepper the pages and add to the reading experience. A perfect addition to the growing collection of feisty girls in early-chapter-book series.—Stacy Dillon, LREI, New York City
