Cassidy's Guide to Everyday Etiquette by Sue Stauffacher
4.0
Delightful middle-grade book for young, the young at heart, and those who just enjoy an entertaining story.
Cassidy is a whip-smart 11 year old, full of energy and spunk. Her life's ambition is to become a hobo, and she can't wait for the end of the school year. She envisions a summer of bike rides, fishing, pranks, and hi-jinks with her neighbor and best friend, Jack. Picture a character who is a cross between Scout, Laura Ingalls Wilder, and Calpurnia Tate. Cassidy's great-grandmother passes away, and to her horror, Cassidy learns that her great grandmother has put a provision in her will that stipulates that Cassidy should attend etiquette classes. Goodbye bike rides and fishing hole, and hello Miss Star Melton-Mowry's School of Poise and Purpose.
"Cassidy's Guide to Everyday Etiquette and Obfuscation" continues with laugh-out-loud moments, surprises, and interesting characters. If you're paying attention, you'll even learn the proper way to set a formal table ;-)
I enjoyed this book, as did my 11-year old daughter. 4 enthusiastic stars.
