Description
A first glance, readers will notice that the story format has larger font and spacing between lines. We are often asked for both of these features here at RRC! Bravo to the author on that choice! OK, to the story – Violet is a girl with theories about lots of things, from people to objects. She is a thoughtful individual and a deep thinker. When Violet sets her mind to a goal, we follow the steps in her plot to get there. The ending is just charming. For ages 6-10. ~Sara
Publisher's Description of Violet Mackerel's Brilliant Plot
Violet is a seven-year-old with a knack for appreciating the smallest things in life: her "Theory of Finding Small Things" states that the moment of finding a tiny treasure usually coincides with the moment of having a genius idea. This creative little girl always strives to think outside the box, so when she spots a small china bird that she desperately wants, she forms an imaginative plan for getting it—and her methods are anything but ordinary!
Violet Mackerel's Brilliant Plot is the first book in an irresistibly charming series starring Violet and her family that has pitch-perfect perspective and plenty of laugh-out-loud humor.
