Reseñas
This was a great start to a series for the younger grades. The three girls in this series are all kind of typical for younger grade series. This series, though only five books long, would give the reader something to distract them from Junie B. Jones and Gooney Bird Greene for a while.
Rating: 4This 2009-2010 Bluebonnet book follows the life of Piper Reed who moves around a lot because her dad, Chief, is in the Navy. This particular story follows her family from Texas to Pensacola, Florida. She is dyslexic and that comes up a few times on the road trip to FL and at other times. She has two sisters, one is a prodigy and the little one provides comic relief, in addition to the comedic ways of Piper. We watch Piper get a dog and meet new friends and adjust to moving once again. This would be a great book to share with students that move a lot and certainly many kids can relate. Piper is always involved in some type of shenanigans which makes this a fun read.
Rating: 5Piper Reed is quite the whiuppersnapper character, full of fun, teasing, sassiness and samrts. She is the middle sister of three, in a navy family that moves a lot. Her father is a chief in the navy and is gone for long stretches of time, during which the family really misses him alot. Piper must contend with beginning and ending school at times that others don't. She is constantly making and leaving friends. This hardship and the hardship of her absent father is buffered by the loving family life Piper enjoys, where each member is open, expressive, and forgiving. This is a book to be enjoed by all, perhaps esspecially by military kids or those who have recently moved or are planning to.
Rating: 4Piper Reed's father, the Chief, has been transferred again, so the family is moving from California to Florida. Piper and her sisters have never moved in the middle of a school year before, and it's not always easy to fit in. Especially when your new house is small with no tree house, you have to share a room with your little sister, and there's only one bathroom.Still, after a long road trip, Piper has plans to start a whole new Gypsy club (too bad she promised them a real Gypsy!) and make Pensacola the best posting yet!Piper is an excellent middle child, full of life and optimism. I especially appreciated the way Holt portrays her dyslexia, making it part of her, but not a defining part of her character.Christine Davenier's black and white drawings are full of motion and great facial expression.
