HTML:From the New York Times bestselling author of Ivy + Bean comes a hilarious new series featuring a high-energy, lovable troublemaker. Meet 9-year-old Iggy Frangi. He's not a bad kid, he's really not. Okay, so he's done a few (a few is anything up to 100) bad things. And okay, he's not very sorry about most of them. People make a big deal about nothing. What's a little pancake here and there? Is that something to get mad about? Iggy doesn't think so. No one got hurt, so there's no problem. No one got hurt except for that one time, that one time when the Best Idea Ever turned into the Worst Idea of All Time. Iggy is sorry he did it. He is really, really, really sorry. "For what?" you might ask. "What did he do?" Well, you'll have to read the book to find out. Things Iggy will NOT do in this book: Be the most polite kid ever. Play the cello. Think before acting. Learn a lesson. Regret his actions. (Most of them, anyway.) No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

I was interested to see how Barrows handled a new character. The first thing to be aware of, is that the Iggy series is a much higher reading level than Ivy + Bean. There are still illustrations and it's a short book, at the end it congratulates readers on making it through 20 chapters, but some of the chapters are only a page long. However, the font is smaller and more dense, more like a chapter book than a beginning chapter book.
Iggy is the kind of kid who means well, but... yeah. Definitely a slightly more naughty version of Melonhead, a literacy kid for whom I have always had a deep affection. Iggy and the narrator, who have several spirited exchanges throughout the book, explain that this book is about "three types of things we wish we hadn't done." Of course, there are degrees in this. The first thing, convincing the goody-two-shoes Jeremy Greerson to jump off the shed roof, Iggy doesn't really regret, just that he got into trouble for it. Also, there were extenuating circumstances. The second thing Iggy just... went too far. As the narrator explains, there are no extenuating circumstances. "The truth is Iggy was bored and lonely, so he went into the bathroom, and while he was there, he lost his mind."
The third thing... well, Iggy wishes he'd never done it. He wishes he'd never even THOUGHT about it. But he did. And he's very, very, very sorry.
Verdict: Sure to tickle the funny bone of your readers with a thoughtful, surprisingly subtle discussion of making choices and mistakes. Recommended.
