Reviews
Grade 3-6 This family story set in modern-day Canada depicts the adventures of 11-year-old Quincy Rumpel, her two younger siblings, and her parents when they move to a new town. Each chapter, typically four pages long, focuses on a new mishap such as Quincy breaking her new glasses, cutting her hair too short, or getting stranded on the roof and rescued by the fire department. Transitions are abrupt, and the plot tends to be predictable. Although the characters are likable, Waterton strains to make them wacky and original with little success. Lois Lowry's Anastasia Again (Houghton, 1981), with its similar theme and plot, succeeds much better than this pleasant but bland paperback. Kathleen Odean, formerly at San Rafael Public Library, Calif.
