Hooked on kid lit


Olivia Kidney and the Secret Beneath the City
by Ellen Potter


Better than the second one, which was pretty darn good!  This one seemed to get almost...serious, for a bit.  And that was weird but maybe kind of okay.

In this episode, Olivia enters art school despite her complete lack of talent; tries to help her friend Franny find the secret to growing (Frannie stopped growing at age seven, so now she's a fourteen-year-old mind in a seven-year-old body); looks for a missing spirit; deals with her annoying ghost, Stella; watches Ansel adjust (not) to having a personal attendant after he fills the lagoon with snapping turtles; attempts to avoid her tactless, visiting mother, on a visit from California; and all the while, prepares for the Principessa's wedding. 

Sound busy?  It is. But some of the pieces fit together in the end.
