"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
