Moxy Maxwell Does Not Love Writing Thank You Notes

Post date: Jun 27, 2012 9:24:44 PM

I was laughing so loud and for so long while reading this book that the person talking to my son on the phone wanted to know what was SO FUNNY! It's the day after Christmas and Moxy has PROMISED her mother that she would write all 12 of her thank you notes before she leaves for Hollywood to visit her dad. Of course, Moxy could never sit right down and accomplish things the obvious way. The brilliant ideas just seem to flow to Moxy. She needs to use her stepdad's new copier that he got for Christmas. She needs to use spray paint even though she is forbidden to use spray paint until she is 21 years old. Does she ever get those thank you notes written?

Moxy Maxwell is told in short chapter with very descriptive chapter titles that are sometimes longer than the chapter. It is "illustrated" with photographs taken by her photographer twin brother, Mark. It includes her partially senile granny, her little sister Pansy, her Uncle Jayne, her best friend Sam, her stepdad Ajax and of course her MOM.
