3.0

This is a barely concealed advertising ploy for Golden Delicious apples. And yes, I know that on the very last page the author's note says it's not. But why name your heroine Delicious then? Why?

Despite being a corporate ploy the book is perfect for my 4-7 story time on apples: 20 to 30 words per page, interesting story, and good art. So, well played Delicious apple company, I mean, Ms. Hopkinson.
