A Kid's Review

This review is from: Busybody Nora (Paperback)

Wow! This was a great book to read. I enjoyed the exciting story about a young girl who goes out on many adventures. She likes to observe people and the way they act. This story is so much fun to read and I can pretend that I am going on those adventures too. It made me want to go out and see all the different people in my community. I hope that you take the time to read this book. It won't be a waste of your time!

I read this with my third grade class, they had fun reading it. Some third grade students might find it easy, but overall all, it was interesting and fun to read.
