“Lark’s chatty first-person narration conveys the problem-solving process, as well as her experiences with dyslexia. As in the previous entries in this Orca Echoes series, the short, fast-paced chapters, dyslexia-friendly font, and lively black-and-white spot illustrations will appeals to early-chapter-book readers.”
