The Principal's Underwear Is Missing

April 1, 2017
Gr 4-6-Becca's not in the popular crowd. She has friends, but they're nothing like Sloan -Selfie- St. Clair, the -it- girl at school who walks around with fancy coffee, uses pink-feather pens, and looks down her nose at kids who don't wear designer clothes from head to toe. After Becca accidentally hurts Selfie and approaches her to apologize, the two are suddenly thrust into what for Becca is a scary ordeal and what might be Selfie's last straw with the principal: they must take action before the woman's very large bra is sent up the school flagpole by a prankster. In this amusing read with its Wimpy Kid-like line drawings, kids will learn that it's OK to associate with someone who's different-you might even have fun. VERDICT Kowitt's well-written title gets school social dynamics right and will be appreciated by readers who enjoy mean girl stories, the -Diary of a Wimpy Kid- and -Dork Diaries- series, and other school survival tales.-Henrietta Verma, National Information Standards Organization, Baltimore
