Kate DiCamillo does it again! This is a very unique book that my students really enjoyed. There were some surprisingly hard topics covered in this lighthearted book (divorce, trauma), but I think she covered them well. I especially love how she weaves in new vocabulary words throughout so that students have a memorable way of learning these words!
