A review by elllie
Penguin Problems by Lauren Myracle

4.0

Lol, Ty. This was a great, sweet little story that I'd give to a 3rd grade boy in a heartbeat. There were a few references in here that I think would make more sense to someone who had read the Winnie books first, even though they're not at all the same audience, but overall the story was pretty self-contained. When I read the first Winnie book, I seriously felt as if Lauren Myracle had crawled into the mind of an eleven-year-old girl, and now I feel as if she's crawled into the mind of a seven-year old boy. How does she do it?!

Parents who are actually both alive and good people!

Boys having emotions and working through them!

A kind of bullying friend that I can see being dealt with in future stories!

Actions with (some) consequences! (this was probably the weakest)
