Frankly, Frannie by A.J. Stern
3.0
Frannie is a girl who desperately wants to be a grown up. So desperate that she is trying to make herself like mustard by smelling it. Frannie is famous for her imagination getting the better of her, so much so that when the class is to go on a field trip to a radio station, she gets a special buddy to watch her. This doesn't stop Frannie from finding more trouble.
Very sweet first chapter book about a girl who finds trouble even when she isn't looking for it. Accompanied by cartoon illustrations by Doreen Mulryan Marts, Frankly, Frannie manages to have a believable heroine who suffers realistic consequences from her choices. Slight suspension of disbelief when it comes to the scrapes she gets into, but still an enjoyable book.
