Moxy Maxwell Does Not Love Writing Thank-You Notes

Moxy Maxwell Does Not Love Writing Thank-You Notes Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

It wasn't as if Moxy Maxwell hadn't tried to do her summer reading. She and Stuart Little had been inseparable all summer, like best friends. If Stuart Little wasn't in her backpack, it was in her lap . . . or holding up the coffee table . . . or getting splashed when Moxy went swimming. But now it's the end of August--the day before fourth grade. And if Moxy doesn't read all of Stuart Little immediately, there are going to be consequences.

It may look like Moxy is doing nothing, but actually she is very busy with a zillion highly crucial thingsNlike cleaning up her room (sort of) and training her dog and taking a much-needed rest in the hammock. Just look at the pictures her twin brother Mark takes to document it all--they're scattered throughout--and you'll see why it's so difficult to make time for a book about a mouse.

Of course our heroine does manage to finish her book, falling so in love with it that she finds herself reading under the covers with a flashlight, late into the night.

From the Hardcover edition.

Synopsis:

Moxy is not thrilled that she must write a thank-you note for each of her Christmas gifts or she will not be allowed to attend a Hollywood bash with her long-absent father. After her father cancels at the last minute, Moxy is forced to deal with the reality of a situation she doesn't want to accept.

Synopsis:

IT ISN’T AS though Moxy isn’t grateful for her Christmas presents. She is. She’s just not thrilled that she has to write a thank-you note for each one by tomorrow . . . or she will not be allowed to fly to Hollywood to attend a starstudded

Hollywood bash with the father she hasn’t seen in three years. And writing thank-you notes is not something that a world-class Creative Type relishes doing. But it is more than writing thank-you notes that finally prevents Moxy from taking her trip. When her father cancels at the last minute, Moxy is forced to deal with the reality of a situation she doesn’t want to accept, and can’t change. But, not surprisingly, she rises to the occasion brilliantly.
