A fun new series I discovered at Cover to Cover yesterday. Love the character and I think kids will too. A bit of a cross between Clementine and Roscoe Riley.

This book is perfect for young kids. Frannie is a funny, energetic girl who desperately tries to be an adult and wants a job.

Frannie Miller is a mischievous girl who loves grown up things. When her class goes on a field trip to a local radio station she makes sure she has her briefcase and business cards with her. When she notices the host of the call in show has left his post she steps in to help. Frannie learns an important lesson about following the rules and helping others. In the style of Junie B. Jones and Judy Moody this series is great for grades 2-3.

Similar to Junie B. Jones - Frannie gets into scrapes that made me cringe!

Cute, although it is painful for me to watch kids do such ludicrously stupid things.

Writing for 1st to 3rd graders is a challenge. Frannie fits in among the likes of Judy Moody, Clementine, Junie B Jones and others. In an effort to be grown up, Frannie misinterprets things and gets into a lot of trouble. There is a fine line in writing humorous antics and being just plain silly which can often be painful to read. There is also a fine line between the protagonist learning her lesson and wanting to have a happy, well-wrapped up ending. I'm not sure that I will continue reading the series but I know girls who will find this fun to read.

Same vein as Clementine and Junie B. I liked Frannie a lot and was smiling while reading.
