- Synopsis
- Take Pippi Longstocking&’s joie de vivre, blend it with a 21st century urban setting, toss in a dog named Otto for good measure and what do you get? This joyfully carefree story about two unlikely friends.It&’s a pair of silver sequined sneakers that unexpectedly flips Emily&’s comfortable, predictable world upside down. Or, more precisely, it&’s the girl wearing them.The shoes belong to Rani, who moves into Emily&’s apartment building—and her life—with absolutely no one but her dog Otto. (Her research scientist mother is away in Patagonia.) And that&’s only the first rule that Emily watches Rani break without hesitation.But it&’s not just that Rani breaks rules. Most of the time, she doesn&’t seem to know the rules exist. Why can&’t she bungee jump off their building? Or bring an ice cream truck to school?For steady and orderly Emily, Rani&’s approach to life feels impossible . . . and more than a little irresistible. But is there a place for her in Rani&’s world? And should she find a way to make space for Rani in her own?A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection
