BOOK REVIEW:
Adventures
with Ragweed is a book about
the many adventures of a young girl, Ragweed. She lives with her two
wealthy parents and always seems to end up in some pretty sticky
situations. Ragweed is the type of girl who constantly has you
laughing or surprised at every turn of the page.
I
enjoyed reading the Adventures
with Ragweed, mainly
because it reminds me of classics, like Ramona and Beezus or Junie B.
Jones. My favorite adventure that Ragweed experienced was Ragweed
goes to Mexico because
it just has you laughing at the situation that her family faced
after all the trouble they have already been through. Overall
Adventures with Ragweed
was
a very enjoyable and entertaining read and I recommend it for all
ages.
