Branford, Anna Violet Mackerel's Brilliant Plot, 103
pgs. Atheneum Books for Young
Readers, 2010 (text) 2012 (illustrations by Elanna Allen). $14.99. Content: G;
Violet Mackerel is a little girl who thinks up big ways to
accomplish her goals. One of her
most brilliant plots is hatched at the Saturday morning craft market where she
helps her mother. It all begins
with the discovery of a small red button, but as Violet believes, big things
start in small ways.
This is a charming and delightful easy read. Violet is a lovely character with a
heart of gold and an imagination without limits. A great classroom read for younger grades, this book would
also appeal to older elementary readers who enjoyed the Fancy Nancy series of
picture books.
