The summer time story of Lucy Rose is a busy one. Lucy Rose, a self identified planner, is spending her summer full of fun. What has she planned you might ask? Well, there's summer Parks and Rec's, then there's this young lady named Ashley at Parks and Rec who Lucy Rose really isn't a fan of. Also, she plans on crafting, spending tonnes of time with her grandparents (fighting squirrels away from their beloved Apricots), adventuring with her best friends Jonique and Melonhead and of course, spending time with her Dad. Here's the thing about Mom and Dad though, they're "separated" and Lucy Rose is attempting to stop this separation from turning into divorce. You see, Lucy Rose has many summer plans and even though they don't all go as planned, Lucy Rose has an adventurous and wonderful summer none the less.
Lucy Rose - Big on Plans is part of a series by Katy Kelly. Reading these as an adult was indeed a bit tedious, but it helps you understand why they are a levelled reader book. They are really meant to be a child's first chapter book. Compared to books of the like, it does a wonderful job of helping children along the way. There are pictures and Lucy Rose even has a word of the day, in turn helping children learn some new vocabulary. This book is not gender neutral, so I would recommend it for a young girl. The age range of this first time chapter book would probably be grades 3-4.
