Cody and the Fountain of Happiness by Tricia Springstubb

3.0

This is a nice early chapter book that would be a good fit for young readers. It doesn’t have a strong plot to it (not a lot happens in the whole book), but it tells about Cody’s adventures in trying to make friends and help the people she cares about. The best part is how much Cody looks for the little things in life and is looking for her own fountain of happiness. I also loved her relationship with Wyatt. Even though she doesn’t always understand his teenage point of view, it’s clear that they love each other and she looks up to him. The illustrations are cute and fun.

In all, it’s a fun book that deals with modern issues like working moms and other real life problems, but it lacks some spark.
