Illustrated by
Adam Rex.
After her parents separate, eight-year-old Lucy Rose and her mom move to Washington, D.C. Through her diary, Lucy Rose keeps track of daily challenges--class pets, troublesome boys, friendships--in these readable books that exude third-grade appeal. Though simple resolutions at times make the books tedious, Lucy Rose's snappy spirit is appealing. Rex's black-and-white drawings enhance the text. Review covers these titles: Lucy Rose: Big on Plans and Lucy Rose: Here's the Thing about Me.
