Ms Rapscott runs a wacky school for girls who have parents that are very busy and don't really notice their kids anymore. So she has them mailed to her and she teaches them all the common sense, rules, manners and life skills they have missed. The story is wacky, fantastical and full of unique adventures. It is not grounded in realism and you have to adjust your thinking as you read the story to not expect it to be really logical. This kind of book isn't my favorite, but I have to say I read it quickly and was entertained by the creative story.
The book is written by Elise Primavera who wrote the series about Auntie Claus. I loved those stories! I would recommend this book for grades 3-5. It looks like she is planning a series. It did end with a set up for another book.
I rate it a 2 out 4. It was OK.
