Academy Award–winning actress and New York Times bestselling author Julianne Moore brings us more adventures from Freckleface Strawberry! Freckleface and her best friend, Windy Pants Patrick, each have something secret in their backpacks: sticky, gooey gum and a squished, messy donut. When it comes time to pull their homework from their backpacks to hand in to the teacher, suddenly their snack choices seem like a really bad idea.
With predictable sentence patterns, simple words, frequent repetition, and bright, colorful illustrations, this is a new Freckleface Strawberry book that young readers can read all by themselves!

JULIANNE MOORE is an Academy Award–winning actress and the author of the New York Times bestselling Freckleface Strawberry series and My Mom Is a Foreigner, But Not to Me, illustrated by Meilo So. She lives in New York City with her family.
LeUYEN PHAM is the prolific illustrator of many books for children, including the New York Times bestselling Freckleface Strawberry series and Grace for President by Kelly DiPucchio. Her own works include The Twelve Days of Christmas, All the Things I Love About You, and Big Sister, Little Sister. She lives with her husband and two sons in San Francisco.
K-Gr 2—Moore offers another delightful tale of her red-headed heroine, Freckleface Strawberry. In Backpacks!, Freckleface and her best friend, Windy Pants Patrick, are both enthusiastic students who always do their homework and prepare their own backpacks with their favorite items. Unfortunately, the two friends discover that their favorite items (bubble gum and doughnuts) do not necessarily belong in their backpacks. Ruined homework fills the students with despair until their teacher mistakes their poor judgment for scholarly creativity. Faced with false praise, the two students face up to their mistakes rather than lie to their teacher, leading to a kind and whimsical ending. In Lunch, Freckleface and Windy Pants are back in action and solving one of life's most universal mysteries: What on Earth is that thing they are serving for school lunch? The two budding foodies adore noodles, hot dogs, and sandwiches—however, they are baffled by the odd green gloop served in the cafeteria. Freckleface and her peculiar meal soon draw a crowd of disbelievers and skeptics, but Freckleface braves her trepidation and decides to try something new to surprisingly pleasant results. The Japanese brush pen illustrations bring to life the expressive faces of the children, and the wide spectrum of colors are used effectively, particularly with the freckles of the main character. The bold style and strong colors we have come to expect from the series are used cleverly to portray various characters and busy spaces, while there is an excellent use of white space for clear and concise text. VERDICT Fans of the series will welcome these latest installments.—Maria Alegre, The Dalton School, New York City
