Kids Book
Emmy and the Home for Troubled Girls
 |
by
Lynne Jonell
Illustrated by Jonathan Bean
|
Ages 9-12
When readers first
met Emmy Addison, star of Lynne Jonell’s warmly
received middle-grade novel Emmy and the
Incredible Shrinking Rat (Holt, 2007), she
appeared an ordinary 10-year-old having a rough go
of it. Her calm and cozy life had been turned on its
ear when her parents inherited a family fortune. The
girl hardly saw her globe-trotting and suddenly
uncaring parents, and was instead left in the care
of a sinister nanny. She became virtually invisible
to her teacher and classmates, and to cap it all
off, she was bitten by the class pet,
a rat.
But that fateful nibble, which
enabled Emmy to understand everything the rat said,
is where Emmy’s—and readers’—real adventures began,
in a tale of action, science experiments, magic and
suspense.
Now, Emmy, a
likeable mixture of Nancy Drew and Dr. Dolittle, is
set to embark on a new adventure in a sequel,
Emmy and the Home for Troubled Girls
