Description
Pippi is the only girl in the world who can do exactly what she likes. She is nine years old, lives in a cottage by herself, with a horse and a monkey for company, and her adventures are the funniest and wildest imaginable.
Quick Summary
Pippi Longstocking turns the idea of grown-up rules upside down by living completely on her own terms, which feels like every kid's secret fantasy. Kids adore Pippi's wild red braids, superhuman strength that can lift a horse, ridiculous money-throwing sprees, and her ability to turn ordinary days into spectacular messes. If your kid loves the rebellious spirit and humor of "Matilda" or "The BFG," they'll absolutely fall for Pippi's never-ending imagination. Perfect for kids ages 7-10 in grades 2-5 who want a laugh-out-loud read with a heroine who refuses to follow any rules except her own.
