Violet Mackerel's Brilliant Plot Paperback – 5 Mar. 2012

This is one of those books I love so much, I want to thrust it at *everybody*, whether or not they have a chapterbook-aged child. I'm a 35-year-old, and my eyes were misty at the (absolutely perfect) ending. The whole book is so funny and sweet and clever, and I loved, loved, loved Violet and her whole wacky, wonderful family. I cannot wait to read more books in this series!
