These stories deal with everyday events--staying up late or simply writing a book report--but the author makes even the mundane an adventure. Her text is breezy and creative. In the simple two-line passage "Your scrapbook is extremely fascinating, I say. (Fascinating is even more interesting than interesting)," she manages to include some wonderful new and challenging words and defines them in funny and memorable ways. If you're an old fan of Fancy Nancy or a new one, this compilation will appeal to everyone.     web reviews   Steven Rosen/2013 for curled up with a good kid's book   For grown-up fiction, nonfiction and speculative fiction book reviews, visit our sister site Curled Up With a Good Book (www.curledup.com)
