Review:
A humorous and charming addition to the Babymouse series. In this volume, Babymouse dreams of becoming a famous rockstar (even in the face of a serious lack of musical talent). Babymouse's active imagination leads her on some hilarious adventures as she deals with the universal issues of middle school life- bullies, riding the bus and making friends.
Opinion:
In a genre that is heavily boy-centric, Babymouse is a spot-on and spunky heroine for young girls and a great choice for reluctant readers. The series is easy to read and appeals to a wide age range of young readers. Though the series is aimed towards second through fourth graders, the format and humor extend its appeal to middle schoolers.
Ideas:
Many girls on the younger side of the tween spectrum adore princess and ballerina books and everything pink. I'd recommend Babymouse for these readers, as it offers a bit more substance but would still appeal to those who love girly books.
