BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3), EL - ADVISABLE

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE


Unlike Bigger Borugh, the most exciting city on the world, Little Import seems small, deserted and about to die off.  Charlie is its only knight - and she seems to have nothing to do. When she finds the baker crying outside a wrecked bakery, however, she knows exactly what the problem is and steps in to take charge. Soon her skill spreads to others of Little Import - when Charlie is able to take a break and look around her village, she finds things have changed a lot!


So cute! I think kids will love trying to figure where each monster is hiding and watching them unfold as they are discovered. The castle-y look to the book feels just right.
