Awesome
I loved the lessons taught in this book and the character Isabella. Go with Izzy and her friends as she learns how to share a lot of things after coning up with a phrase “I won’t share ’cuz it’s not fair!” is nine-year-old Isabella
Speedwalker-Juarez’s motto. It’s all because she’s stuck in a room
with her toddler brother, Dozer. Mom says Izzy has to adapt to
Granny’s tiny 3 bedroom trailer,with one room being used as her Granny's salon, one as the shared room between her mom and her Granny, and one Izzy's and Dozer. Isabella is forced to live in the trailer where they’ve just moved because money is tight and Mom is worried about losing her job at the gum
factory. Izzy knows what will make everything better – an
above-ground pool. She’ll swim in it for hours, and she won’t
share it with anyone, not even her new classmates or her friend
Deborah Nibblebitz-Fifer. With help from Zachary O’Toole, the
neighborhood handyman – and from Deborah – Izzy plans to
hold a car wash to raise money. But when things finally start
to go her way, a tornado damages the neighborhood. Izzy
begins to rethink her motto, after her she sees her friend lose everything. they also enter a gum contest to help save the factory and to get the prize money. I would recommend this book for ages 6 to 12. This book teaches little children how to be fair and share.
