Violet Mackerel's Brilliant Plot

103 pp. | Simon | August, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4424-3585-8 $14.99
(2) 1-3 Illustrated by Elanna Allen. Seven-year-old Violet knows that to obtain the beautiful blue china bird at an outdoor market, she needs a "brilliant plot." Violet is a true original: a complicated heroine for new readers who is neither stereotypically spunky nor silly. She needs her mother's gentle guidance but is able to solve little problems all by herself. Black-and-white halftone illustrations accompany the text.
