Moxy Maxwell Does Not Love Writing Thank-you Notes (Paperback)
Fall 2008 Kids' List
“Moxy is thrilled that she gets to go to Hollywood to see her dad. But there's a catch: Before she leaves, she must write all her thank- you notes for her Christmas presents. Moxy's hilarious schemes and her brother Mark's photos make this a quick, fun read.”
— Jenny Cohen, Waucoma Bookstore, Hood River, OR
Every tween reader’s favorite procrastinator is back . . . in paperback!
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.
“Resourceful and resilient, Moxy is a pleasure to meet again.”—Kirkus Reviews, Starred
