Brigid Lucy tries to be good but it doesn't always work—this could be because of the invisible imp hiding in her hair

Brigid Lucy, or "Biddy," is excited when she spots a real-life princess tower from the window of the train. So is the invisible imp that lives in her hair—it is going to lead to all sorts of trouble! Her mom says the tower is a cathedral, but what do grown-ups know? When Biddy and the imp investigate further, they discover that Princess Rapunzel is trapped inside the tower. Can Biddy save the day? This delightful chapter book focuses on what makes us do the naughty things we do.

[Dee-Ann · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a 3.5 star book. It had a really nice feel to it, and was light, but the simplistic, child-like language in it bothered me, but the story was good. I am not sure what the audience is for this book, I think it is definitely a book to be read to young children, however the layout of the book is so that the child reads it him/herself. Cute drawing and emphaisis on particular crazy words.

Despite my lowish rating, I think this would make an excellent cartoon for young children. The character is cute, mischevious and I think this a funs series of cartoons could be developed using Brigid Lucy and the narrating Imp.
