Cooper, Ilene Lucy’s Tricks and Treats (Absolutely Lucy: Book#5) 112 pgs. Random House Books for Young Readers, 2012. $4.99. (Rating: G).
Its nearing
Halloween and Bobby has the perfect idea for his costume. Both he and his
beagle Lucy are going to be dressed as pirates. When the dog costume goes
missing, he is worried the new boy at school Jack, might have something do with
it.
This book manages
to pull off being both “great” and “wholesome” without feeling cheesy, dated,
or simplistic. That’s a talent author! Hooray! I think students will love this
chapter book about a boy who really cares about his dog, and it functions
perfectly as a standalone despite being #5 in a series.
