He wrote so well that I often wondered why he hadn't written a novel. So glad for the success of his MG series. I recently read a mystery by another author and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was funny like Jacob Wonderbar, but a different kind of funny. http://www.amazon.com/Missing-Kevin-Don-Porter/dp/0985701471/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1393450266&sr=8-1&keywords=kevin+don+porterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265120169320473011.post-29939804587527680872011-05-16T17:59:10.774-05:002011-05-16T17:59:10.774-05:00Oh, thanks for that clarification, Anon!

Her parents may be fluent in Mandarin, and just use it with her. I've seen white parents use Mandarin with their kids. Or maybe she's mixed race, or I'm just making wild guesses :). But I think those illustrations are accurate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265120169320473011.post-38705380219685951442011-05-15T23:50:09.998-05:002011-05-15T23:50:09.998-05:00It makes me sad that the other reviews you linked ...It makes me sad that the other reviews you linked to didn't notice the cover discrepancy. This doesn't really sound like my kind of book due to over-the-top humor. BUT I love to laugh and you seem to have very much enjoyed it so I'll keep my eye out for it. The title is very eye-catching :) I'm going to link to this and write more on it in a bitMissAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11042352415616854651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265120169320473011.post-69360527386108805912011-05-15T18:13:02.873-05:002011-05-15T18:13:02.873-05:00whoops--just realized that the Great Blogger Crash...whoops--just realized that the Great Blogger Crash of last week ate my comment on your comment!<br /><br />I loved Sarah too, Natalie!
