Meet Elizabeth. She's got an excellent pet duck, a loving granddad and a
first name that's just awesome. After all, she's got a queen named after
her! So she's really not amused when people insist on using nicknames
like "Lizzy" and "Beth." She bears her frustration in silence until an
otherwise ordinary autumn day, when she discovers her power to change
things once and for all. In the process, Elizabeth learns about
communication and respect --- and their roles in building better
relationships with family and friends. The two-toned illustrations
reflect the story's energy and sass, and the comic-book-like format
makes it easy to follow. The cheeky, retro drawings also keep it real
--- depicting the sometimes-feisty Elizabeth as a resolutely normal kid
--- whether she's flossing her teeth or feeding her pet duck.
