Star Girl: Toxic Talk

Review "Beginning chapter book readers will happily make their way through this gentle, heartwarming series as they build confidence in their abilities." —School Library Journal      Product Description      Lola and Buddy are aboard Pirate Sal's ship. Can they help the pirates protect the Story Sea?      From School Library Journal      Gr 1–3—Lola returns to her magic toy box and this time journeys to the Kingdom (where toys go when they're not being played with by children) and joins a pirate ship. The crew are fishing for stories in the story sea but are thwarted by a submarine from the Plastic Prince. Lola must help her toy friends save the day and reclaim the stories. As in other titles in the series, references to classic literature abound and will delight readers who recognize them. This is another sweet, safe installment that doesn't break new ground. Though it lacks originality, it is comforting and engaging. VERDICT Beginning chapter book readers will happily make their way through this gentle, heartwarming series as they build confidence in their abilities.—Elizabeth Nicolai, Anchorage Public Library, AK      About the Author      Danny Parker whose previous books include Parachute and Tree: A Little Story About Big Things.
