It’s up to Isabelle, Guy, and Herbie to show Little “Norphan” Frannie why reading is so much fun

Meet Frannie, a “norphan.” It’s what Frannie says you call a kid who lost her daddy and then her mommy (when mom left to go find a new dad). Frannie is staying with her “aunt,” a waitress at the local café who brings home leftover pancakes for dinner.

When Isabelle the irrepressible itch discovers that Frannie can’t read, she gets right to work. Reading is her favorite thing in the world, and she’s pulling out all the stops to help her new friend learn how to do it.

With familiar characters like Guy and Herbie as well as the perennial antagonist Mary Eliza along for Isabelle’s continued adventures, Isabelle and Little Orphan Frannie, the third book in Constance C. Greene’s Isabelle series, offers a fun, engaging read for Isabelle’s young fans.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Greene neatly knits all these plot threads together and leaves the reader longing for the next Isabelle adventure. Newly independent readers will quickly turn the pages; teachers who need a humorous read-aloud won’t be able to control the laughter.” —Kirkus Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 4-6 Isabelle, the spirited heroine of Isabelle the Itch (1973) and Isabelle Shows Her Stuff (1984, both Viking), is back in another set of trials and errors, mostly errors. She is still as outspoken and frequently obnoxious as ever. She is still in Mrs. Esposito's fifth-grade class, still chasing the elusive popularity enjoyed by Mary Elizabeth, and still driving her parents to the brink with her impulsive antics. Her old friends are busy with new interests, and she needs a new companion and a new cause. She finds both in Frannie, whose ``old daddy died and. . . mom went looking for a new one.'' Frannie has a secretshe can't read. Of course, as soon as Isabelle learns the secret, she becomes a self-appointed tutor. The illiteracy issue is handled with a light touch and perhaps resolved a little too quickly to be convincing. Some of the characters such as Andre the hairdresser are overdrawn, and the humor is a bit more stretched and slapstick than in the earlier titles. Still, Isabelle's fans won't want to miss this one. This book can be read independently, but will be most appreciated after reading the first two titles. Overall, an acceptable, if not spectacular, response to the ``Do you have any funny books?'' question. Heide Piehler, Shorewood Public Library, Wis.

From Publishers Weekly

Isabelle, the plucky heroine of Isabelle Shows Her Stuff , is back to take a new look at herself and her gang. Sparring partner Herbie has grown confident, older brother Philip has discovered girls, and old Mrs. Stern has a gentleman suitor. To Isabelle, it's as if everyone else is leaving her behind. Her newest find is "little orphan Frannie," a tough, irascible kid whose semi-abandoned state evokes instant sympathy from Isabelle's mother and other adults, and whose unpredictability drives Isabelle to distraction. Then she discovers Frannie's secretshe can't readand reluctant-reader Isabelle decides to do the teaching herself. Bright and funny, this is a terrific new adventure for Isabelle's many fans. While Frannie's plight, when explained, is quite believable, some readers may be disappointed that she disappears as quickly as she arrived. Ages 8-12.

This is one of the worst books I've ever read. In fact, I couldn't even finish it, it was so bad! Save your money and time!
