"A very sweet book that took a matter of about 45 minutes to read. It was very cute and as with all of Gary Paulsen's books, the main character is strong. He'll be in our town in a few weeks! I really hope that I get to meet him!" — Ashley (4 out of 5 stars)

" Okay. Molly is type A, her grandma is a free spirit who comes to school with her and makes her day utterly chaotic but in the end frees her from the tyranny of her organizer notebook. A bit forced. "
" Better known as a writer with strong male characters, Paulsen takes on a day in the life of a middle schooler with hilarious results! "
" I really like the Irene character. Yes, the book is dated. She has a pager in her purse. But good writing is good writing and it holds up. "
" A wonderful story of a little girl who's too organized for her own good. "
" a short and sweet book that teaches us to appreciate what we have and to go with the glow sometimes! structure is always the best way to live our lives! and the grass is not always greener on the other side "
" I listened to this on cd on the way to and from Vegas. It was quick and fun! What a creative story about a girl who is dependent on her folder and when it is lost she has the worst day of her life... or does she?? "
" funny day Molly has with her grandmother :) "
" It was okay. I have read better though. "
" This was an okay book t was good but I didn't like it as much as I thought and I don't think Irene should have hid Molly's notebook, it was really weird, you might like this if you liked umbrella summer and eleven birthdays, I didn't. "
" Wonderful story, of course. Easy to read, I think we can all find ourselves in Molly. "
" I used this book when I taught sixth grade. The students (girls AND boys) as well as I could not get enough! It is hysterical! Even if you don't teach middle school, it is worth a quick read! "
" Great story for girls "
" What a fun, charming, funny, fast read! This will appeal to girls more than boys, but you might be able to get some boys to read it. The message isn't exactly subtle, but it works. "
" Irene is so unbelievable that she's almost believable as a character. (will update w/ more details soon) "
