Z for my A to Z Children’s Books Reads
—School Library Journal
“Pure whimsical delight.
Magic does blow throughout the world, and Zip proves it!”
one girl + one scooter = journey of a lifetime
When Lyssa’s mother died, so did the magic—that special something that always made the sunflowers grow taller and the strawberry jelly taste sweeter. So when Lyssa receives the alarming news that her childhood home in Texas is about to be bulldozed, she sets off on a two-wheeled cross-country journey to save her family home—and with it, the last remaining sparkle of her earlier life. On her odyssey, Lyssa meets some decidedly unusual people—from rowdy cowgirls to a chorus line of singing mermaids—and discovers adventure at every highway turn. But it’s the magic that she uncovers, little by little, along the way that will ultimately put a new zip in her step!
When you are snowed in a lot of reading gets accomplished. This book is a riot to read and children will learn without even meaning to! This girl was a hoot! Reminded me of my beloved Anne of Green Gables mixed with Pippi Long-stocking!
I highly recommend reading this adventure!
Peace.
