Description
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewMimi and the Gum Club are back in action! After a field trip to the town’s lighthouse, Mimi dreams of finding buried treasure, believing that somewhere beneath Periwinkle Tower there is a chest full of coins and jewels—and that it’s all for her. However, the spunky girl soon discovers that her selfish attitude is a costly thing to have. As for the other Gum Club members, Yoshi is leaving for the summer for a reading boot camp; Tonya is trying to find a room at the Periwinkle Tower so she can be closer to her friends; Boris is on a mission to find the best flavor of pudding; and for some reason Sofie is walking around with a bandaged leg, while lugging a suitcase. The kids go on some fantastic and hilarious adventures together, and young readers will delight in the characters’ autonomy—the conspicuous absence of adults may be less pleasing to parents. This second installment in the illustrated Mimi’s World series is as funny as the first (It’s Not Easy Being Mimi, 2018), offering even more heartwarming moments. -- Booklist, Online Exclusive * November 8, 2019 *
