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.
