Lucy Rose: Busy Like You Can't Believe

166 pp. | Delacorte | September, 2006 | Trade ISBN 0-385-73319-4 $12.95 | Library ISBN 0-385-90338-3 $14.99
(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Adam Rex. In this third Lucy Rose installment, the bubbly, "super busy" fourth-grade palindrome lover copes with the dramas of nine-year-old life (trying out for the school musical, dealing with a dating parent, confronting bullies). Lucy's first-person storytelling, relayed in hyper run-on sentences, will either exhaust or delight young readers. The detailed pencil drawings are humorous but too dark for the book's tone.
