review
Best Fiction for Younger Readers of 2021-- Chicago Public Library Lolo's
back for a whole new set of adventures in You're a Star, Lolo, the
third book in Niki Daly's Lolo series for beginning readers. Whether
it's turning her garden into a snail farm when snails eat up her
precious tomato plant, or using her hair ribbons to save the day when a
friend's car breaks down - there's a unique solution to every problem,
and Lolo is going to find it!
These stories invite young readers into the life and adventures of
fun-loving, clever, and curious Lolo, a young girl living in South
Africa. Along with her mother and grandmother, Gogo, she can always find
a way to make the best out of any situation-- even when things don't go
as planned.
In You're a Star, Lolo, join Lolo as she makes her mom an
extra-special soup, goes on vacation with her Gogo, and even tracks down
the scary Ghorra-Ghorra-Hoooaaah-Bwoooooo-Monster sound she keeps
hearing at night! Praise for Niki Daly's Lolo Series
"Bright and cheerful Lolo is the star of the show in this new
chapter-book series from South Africa. [...] Young readers will find
much to enjoy in this tale of a winning little girl and her
family―hooray indeed!"- Kirkus Reviews
"With a simply written, graceful text and gray-scale pictures on nearly
every page, these appealing stories are just right for children moving
from beginning readers to chapter books." - Booklist
"Daly's lessons are relatable and resonant, sowing seeds of compassion
and connection between the reader and Lolo. [...] The expressive
black-and-white digital illustrations, which resemble classic line art à
la Amelia Bedelia, lovingly depict Lolo and her community. An endearing
protagonist and clear thematic messages make this first in a series a
winsome pick for early readers." - Publishers Weekly
"The outstanding feature of this series of books is that very few books
for children of this age (say 5 to 8 years) combine a highly readable
tone and a feisty young character of colour." - International Board on
Books for Young People, UK
"Sparkly stories all, with lots of gentle humour that will win Lolo lots
of friends among young readers who are sure to enjoy making the
acquaintance of this enormously engaging girl."- Red Reading Hub
"Lolo is a fun-loving, likeable character, whose experiences and
dilemmas are typical of children her age. She considers the impact her
actions have on others, making this a great book to promote discussion
about emotions, empathy, kindness and friendship. Ideal for newly
independent readers to increase their confidence, each page is
illustrated with characterful black-and-white illustrations that bring
the stories to life." - Book Trust (UK)
