Oddly Enough 8 reviews Bruce Coville
Harcourt, 1994
Wonderful!
+ Something special

Babymouse #3: Beach Babe (Babymouse) 2 reviews Jennifer L. Holm, Matt Holm
Random House Books for Young Readers, 2006
The Irrepressible Spirit of Babymouse Shines Through
+ A good book for the girl aged 8-10

Eventually, just before bedtime, I gave in. And I have to say, after missing the first two books in the series, that I am now in love with ...
