My personal Rating-
{Add ½ to a full star for those in Public School or interested in the
entertainment industry}
I was
expecting this book to be a cute read and it was! I really liked Daisy and
found her to be very real in her thoughts of current twelve-year-olds. Like
most Public School Pre-Teen books, “Oops-A-Daisy” had friendship troubles,
dealing with a mean girl, and a bit of sibling problems. But, there was also a
message about caring for the homeless in this book. I loved that Daisy’s view
was put into perspective after volunteering at a shelter.
Overall,
this was a cute read with good messages and I’m looking forward to the next book
of the series. :)
See y’all
