Just finished this little gem - if you like A Series of Unfortunate Events, you'll like this book. It has a lighter touch that ASOUE. The premise is that a group of 4 girls whose parents are too busy to parent, are packed into boxes and shipped to Ms. Rapscott’s School for Girls Whose Parents Are Too Busy.
Ms.Rapscott (think tactless Mary Poppins) teaches them how to do all the things they haven’t been taught at home - how to bathe and brush their teeth, do laundry, cook, be safe crossing the street, entertain themselves without tv, do basic household chores, and how to have an adventure.
The ending nicely opens the way for a sequel.
