The Becket List

"Becket is an outgoing, refreshingly self-confident protagonist . . . Readers will appreciate her ability to bounce back from whatever life hands her. Pham's sketch drawings scattered throughout enhance the energy and humor of the story. Give this to kids who enjoy stories with plucky female protagonists."
--School Library Journal

"Becket is a regular laundry list of confidently delivered safety sayings, and it's just one of her many original and sparkling traits . . . the storyline is warm and amusing as Becket and her two siblings navigate their new life on a farm."
--Kirkus Reviews

"An enjoyable novel for young readers beginning to explore the world on their own terms."
--Horn Book Magazine

"Becket's narration vibrates with energy and cheer...Pham's black and white illustrations...have just the right amount of comic flair to match the vibrant humor of Becket's story."
