I love this book because this little girl has so many adventures. For instance lucy Rose wanted to keep her class pet over the holidays. Lucy Rose got the class pet and she lost him.

This was precious little book. I can't say that I read anymore of the series since it is definitely an elementary level book. My 4 year old seemed to like it alright.

They were a nice addition to the story especially with Lucy Rose "anonymously" asking her grandmother advice on things. It was cute and I'd say that elementary school readers would enjoy them.

Lucy Rose could be Junie B. Jones in 3rd grade. She has the same kind of spunk and good intentions that tend to go awry. She is an "individual" and things are rarely boring around her.

Her parents are separated and she has left Michigan for Washington, DC where she lives very close to her grandparents. While she enjoys her grandparents, and they seem to be of the very best sort for an independent little girl, she doesn't look forward to a new school, especially when the o More...

I got this book as a present and laughed all the way. It is a hilarious book about an 8-year-old who moves from Michigan to Washington, D.C. She has to start over at a new school and make new friends. I think this would make a great movie!

The first in a series of books about 8 year old Lucy Rose who moves to DC, (Capitol Hill area), when her parents divorce. She's spunky and funny like Junie B Jones but on a slightly higher reading level.

I LOVE Lucy Rose! It makes me sad that almost nobody I know knows about her. There are 3 more Lucy Rose books and I loved them all. She reminds me a little of Ramona Quimby.

Very cute series set in Washington,DC. Author is from DC and hits all the sites and sounds quite well, though with a certain nostalgia for a Washington that is no longer.

I hated this book because all the person did was say stuff about herself and go to school and come back home again. Nothing was interesting so I only read 3/4 of the book.

What a fun discovery of a new series! Lucy Rose and her family are a lively bunch of characters. The vocab and storytelling are terrific and it is all set on Capital Hill.

Lucy Rose reminds me of a far less annoying Junie B. Jones.

Story written in diary format by a spunky 8-yr-old girl. Reminds me of Judy Moody and Ramona.
