Warm, Funny Mustaches An Uplifting Novel About Kindness, Compassion, and Comedy
7:01 AM
(Image from Barnes & Noble)
Sixth grade can be super awkward. Between trying to catch the cute boy's eye, attempting to convince the queen bee you're cool enough to hang out with her, and struggling to be yourself but not standing out too much, well, it's tough. Thank goodness for Maddie Bridger's stick-on mustaches. Pop one of those babies on and the discomfort melts away, replaced by hysterical fits of laughter. There's nothing the 12-year-old likes more than making someone giggle—and it's a well-known fact that everything is funnier with a mustache.


Grade:
If this were a movie, it would be rated:
although the cancer theme might be scary to younger children
To the FTC, with love: I received a finished copy of Mustaches for Maddie from the generous folks at Shadow Mountain. Thank you!

Suey loved this one too. I might have to seek it out. I’m a sucker for peer pressure.
ReplyDeleteLOL. It's a good one and a fast read.
DeleteI might have to read this one. I'm not sure yet. I like that the idea of it trying to help Maddie cope with her tumor, but I don't know if I'm up for reading something like it.
ReplyDeleteDisease novels are tough. Some are so sad and depressing that you wish you'd never read them. Others are lighter and more uplifting. This one is definitely the latter. But it's still about a child with a tumor so it's got some serious themes.
DeleteMy daughter does not like reading. I read this one out loud and she loved it!
ReplyDeleteI need to read it out loud to my 9-year-old daughter. I think she'd enjoy it, too.
DeleteI think that this would be a great book for families who are battling disease.
ReplyDeleteAgreed. It talks about how everyone in the family reacts to the diagnosis and copes with it in their own way.
DeleteMustaches for Maddie sounds like a great book!
