Reviews
"With wild, imaginative flair, fourth-grader Rani is a bit Pippi Longstocking, while her propensity to take language literally is a bit Amelia Bedelia. And like those fictional favorites, she'll definitely appeal to readers. . . . The multicultural crew and Vogel's bouncy line drawings keep the story contemporary, lighthearted, and fun."--Booklist

"Fast-paced episodes, nimbly captured in b&w comic-strip-style cartoons from Vogel (Too Much Slime!), keep things moving as Thomson (Wombat Underground) showcases Rani's vivid imagination and, in affectionate prose, the way her welcoming attitude brings community to the fore."--Publishers Weekly

"Readers will treasure the blossoming friendship between opposites in this whimsically illustrated tale. Short chapters and plenty of action make for an accessible and appealing reading experience. . . . Touching and inspiring."--Kirkus Reviews

"[An] entertaining story. . . . The characters are appealing and children will admire Rani's resourcefulness and quirky sense of humor."--School Library Connection
