Note: I received a digital review copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley.
Tillie came to America with her sewing needle and big dreams. In no time, she had stitched herself a racing outfit and began breaking not only world cycling records, but many soci - etal barriers, too
Thomas’ mother Helen suffers from depression. One day she disappears somewhere near the airport and never returns. Thomas and his father are left grieving and struggling to understand her absence. With the help of his neighbors Giselle and Mrs. Sharp, Thomas creates a story to explain where Helen went and why. Many butterfly and caterpillar metaphors; is it too much or appropriate as part of Thomas' story?

Cassidy is a whip-smart 11 year old, full of energy and spunk. Her life's ambition is to become a hobo, and she can't wait for the end of the school year. She envisions a summer of bike rides, fishing, pranks, and hi-jinks with her neighbor and best friend, Jack. Picture a character who is a cross between Scout, Laura Ingalls Wilder, and Calpurnia Tate. Cassidy's great-grandmother passes away, and to her horror, Cassidy learns that her great grandmother has put a provision in her will that stipulates that Cassidy should attend etiquette classes. Goodbye bike rides and fishing hole, and hello Miss Star Melton-Mowry's School of Poise and Purpose.
"Cassidy's Guide to Everyday Etiquette and Obfuscation" continues with laugh-out-loud moments, surprises, and interesting characters. If you're paying attention, you'll even learn the proper way to set a formal table ;-)
I enjoyed this book, as did my 11-year old daughter. 4 enthusiastic stars.
Thank you to NetGalley and Random House Children's Books for a galley of this book in exchange for an honest review.
