An odd little adventure dedicated to pickles.

Lauren McGill is obsessed with pickles. She loves everything about them. After an eventful field trip to a pickle factory, her classmates realize how great pickles are too. Now Lauren doesn't feel special and isn't sure she likes pickles anymore... until inspiration strikes and she decides to open her own pickle museum.

Cute story overall. Nice illustrations. It was especially fun to look at all of Lauren's pickle memorabilia and outfits.

It's quite a wordy story, so better for older children.

Will definitely make you crave some pickles.
