The Agony of Alice by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor

The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate by Jacqueline Kelly I think of Paper Bag Princess whenever my girls say they don’t know what to do and I tell them, 'We’re Girl Scouts… we figure it out'.”

'In Paper Bag Princess, I love the message that a girl can do anything, in a paper bag if she must, and that happy endings don’t have to include wedding vows. She comes up with an out of the box solution that can be left as is for laughs or can lead to some more discussion about leadership and responsibility.'
