About the book:


     There are three things you should know about Piper Green:

1. She always says what’s on her mind (even when she probably shouldn’t).

2. She rides a lobster boat to school.

3. There is a Fairy Tree in her front yard.


     Life on an island in Maine is always interesting. But when a new teacher starts at Piper’s school—and doesn’t appreciate the special, um, accessory that Piper has decided to wear—there may be trouble on the horizon. Then Piper discovers the Fairy Tree in her front yard. Is the Fairy Tree really magic? And can it fix Piper’s problems?


My review:


     This is a delightful beginning readers chapter book!


     I loved Piper. She is a charming character and very open about her thoughts and feelings. She is dealing with a difficult change at home. No one seems to understand though. I thoroughly enjoyed how she learned to adjust to it.


     The narrator did a wonderful job. The wide variety of voices she used really made the story come to life. I am amazed that she not only changed from men to women, but also from adults to children.


     I’m giving this sweet book a rating of 5 stars. I highly recommend it. In fact I think I will be buying it for some of my grandchildren.
