This book is delightfully silly, truly amusing, and a breath of fresh air in a world which increasingly descends to the crass and vulgar in attempting to entertain. Such misguided buffoonery would clearly be beneath Petronella, a spirited, intelligent, stalwart heroine worthy of anyone's admiration. In short, I loved it. (Good for all ages; probably especially enjoyed by girls in the 9+ range. A dignified alternative to "teenage girl" books - a definite plus to my pre-teen girl.)

The Entomological Tales of Augustus T. Percival : Petronella Saves Nearly Everyone by Dene Low
This book is delightfully silly, truly amusing, and a breath of fresh air in a world which increasingly descends to the crass and vulgar in attempting to entertain.
