Lauren’s review of Skunked!

Adorable, quirky, and fun!

Calpurnia Tate is a smart, (if overly fond of the words, “idiot” and “stupid”) protagonist who walks the fine line of not falling into the stereotypical tomboy realm while being adventurous nonetheless. While her many siblings aside

from Robert fade into the background, Robert is present throughout most of the story and brings lots of humor, adventure, and sibling bonding into the mix.

The skunks are loveable, largely due to the adorable illustrations which decorate the first page of each chapter. The full-page and other smaller illustrations are all detailed and lively, making this a beautiful book to look at. I can’t wait to read the original Calpurnia Tate books!
