Millie Fierce

32 pp. | Philomel | August, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-0-399-25642-4 $16.99
(4) K-3 Tired of being meek, Jekyll-like Millie does a Mr. Hyde and terrorizes everyone at home and school...until she learns that being fierce has its downside. The ending seems abrupt, but otherwise this tartly illustrated story about finding oneself is well done and comical (to prepare for her new personality, "Millie frizzed out her hair and made the crazy eye").
Reviewer: Nell Beram
