Primrose Squarp, doughty hero of Everything on a Waffle, has her previously-lost-at-sea parents back home, but the residents of Coal Harbor continue to need her varied, unusual talents. This novel is funny from top to bottom, from surprising plot twists to laugh-out-loud comments on the human condition to the edges where humor merges with wisdom and sadness. Nobody does middle grade like Horvath.
