Ten years after Leslie Patricelli' s first board book took the toddler world by storm, she ventures into a new genre with an offbeat and funny illustrated middle-grade novel. Lily is pretty lucky. She made a friend on the first day at her new school-even after she barfed on the playground-and now she and Darby are the only two members of the RizzleRunk Club. Darby is fun. She tells funny stories, she likes to catch frogs, and there' s lots of junk food at her house. Darby is good at lots of things, too. Especially lying. Which Lily isn' t. She gets that ants-under-her-skin feeling when she even thinks about doing it. But sometimes telling the truth is just too hard, so when Lily accidently does something to the class rat that she' s afraid to admit, she denies it. Soon the lie feels like something awful sitting in the bottom of her stomach. Will Lily find a way to let it out?
This first full-length narrative, a series opener, from board-book creator Patricelli (Hair, 2017, etc. ) is a no-frills, funny story about friendship. -Kirkus Reviews There isn' t a dull moment in this uproarious first novel from Patricelli, best known for her series of board books starring a springy-haired toddler. . . Patricelli' s humor is on the mark, and her scribbly b&w cartoons add to the fun. Lily' s self-effacing narration carries this rollicking look at the challenges and rewards of friendship. -Publishers Weekly This engaging, funny, and heartfelt read will ring true to a young audience; Patricelli shows a real gift for capturing the dramas and goofiness of the age range. Recommended for most collections. -School Library Journal Patricelli, best known for her adorable board books, illustrates the pages with Lily' s hilarious doodles. A sequel, hinted at on the last page, can' t come too soon. Grade: A -Plain Dealer Patricelli nails the anxiety that comes with moving and shyness, particularly the constant worry Lily feels over other people' s opinions. . . Embellished with Lily' s cartoon drawings, this tween novel about finding your own path is relatable, funny, and sincere. -Booklist
