marshmallowpudding 's review for:
Poppy Mayberry, The Monday
by Jennie K. Brown
I received a review copy from Chapter by Chapter in exchange for an honest review.
This is such a cute little story! I haven't read middle-grade books in so long and this is one of the best I've ever read.
I really like the whole "weekday powers" thing. The day of the week you're born on determines what powers you have, and that is so cool, really. I was born on a Friday, meaning if I was a resident of Nova, I would be able to disappear! (Who needs the invisibility cloak when you can make yourself disappear?)
Poppy, the narrator of the story, is such a nice girl. She's got a wicked sense of humor and BONUS: SHE HAS A YORKIE NAMED PICKLE AND BRINGS HER TO SUMMER SCHOOL! Another fellow animal lover <3 I really enjoyed reading the story from her perspective.
At first, I didn't like Ellie, Poppy's enemy, because she seems so snobby. She keeps a nail file with her at all times and keeps on re-applying her nail polish. Everything she owns is pink (PINK 😍 I LOVE PINK). At last, she turns out to be not so bad (pink lovers can do no wrong) and becomes super nice.
At the end, Poppy and Ellie try to understand each other and at last learn to accept each other and even become friends. It's really sweet and I love the ending so much! Looking forward to reading Book Two :)
