Such a delightful YA book. I couldn't put it down. It shows how friends and family come together to make you the person that you are.

Kind of a weird book, but I liked the ambition of the girl to follow her dreams and not be afraid of what other people thought or told her.

Sweet story about a little girl who wants to be an inventor and invent something for her little brother. The ending wasn't exactly what I thought it would be, but still sweet.
