This is not a bad book. In fact, if I were an eight-year-old child reviewing this story, I’d probably give it 5 stars. Cleo Porter is charming, inventive, and easy to identify with. The lack of skin color descriptions will allow kids of any race to picture her looking more like them even though she was probably intended to be seen as white. The story is engaging. And if I were a child, the twist ending might have actually surprised me. As an adult, however, I knew exactly what was happening from the moment the medication was delivered. However, despite knowing where the book was headed, I still enjoyed the ride.
