Meet Calliope Day

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Steve Pica. Nine-year-old Calliope's vivid--if somewhat gross--imagination fuels an endless array of pranks and antics, including hurling Barbie heads at trick-or-treaters and using a Dustbuster to dislodge ants from an elderly neighbor's nose. A resourceful and offbeat character, Calliope is both a mischievous tomboy and a lonely latchkey kid. Cartoon illustrations capture her amusing escapades.
