Piper's dad—the Navy Chief—might be gone again, but Piper's got plenty to keep her busy at home: new neighbors, a spaceship beach house, a trip to New Orleans, and most important, the upcoming Gypsy Club pet show. Piper is determined to win, but teaching tricks to her dog seems nearly impossible. Bruna is simply unteachable! Or is she? Join Piper as she embarks on new and exciting adventures!
Piper is a spunky heroine with lots of spirit—she's both kindhearted and bossy as she tries to find her place in the world as the middle sister.
Piper Reed's dad is in the Navy, so she's moved around a lot--hence, her creation of a "Gypsy Club" for friends with similarly uprooted backgrounds. Narrator Emily Janice Card gives thoughtful dimension to Holt's engaging characters--from Piper's mother, with her soft Southern accent, to Uncle Leo, the eccentric hummingbird expert. Card also portrays Piper and her two sisters beautifully, capturing realistic friction between the siblings. Through Piper's story, young readers will glimpse a funny and genuine exploration of home (when you keep leaving homes behind) and identity (when you're the Navy-brat middle sister with a dog who won't obey your commands). Piper Reed is a gem, and Card makes her multifaceted nature shine. J.C.G. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
