Reviews
...While Lemony Snicket fans may be drawn to this book in
search of yet another tale of orphan woe, they'll find a coming
of age story told with insight and humor. ...Phoebe's journey
is much more than a change of scenery -- it's a change of heart.
Recommended. LIBRARY TALK
This brief, lighter-than-air
tale is both amusing and engaging... Fluffy and fun, with just
the right touch of message. KIRKUS
Phoebe's first-person
narrative carries the farce of the Cinderella-in-reverse scenario. BOOKLIST
The Bean King's Daughter
is filled with exaggeration and middle-grade humor, and gently
demonstrates that stepmothers can be all right if you give them
a chance. SPECTRUM HOME AND SCHOOL NETWORK
Follow Phoebe as she
realizes that [her stepmother] is not the enemy and that it
is important to have caring friends and family. CHILDHOOD
EDUCATION
Phoebe is very good
at getting rid of wicked stepmothers. ARIZONA DAILY
