Nayu's thoughts
This is an ace 2nd book in this series. I love
how incredibly diverse Marge is. She is polite for adults and looks
sensible, but as soon as they go out comes her trademark rainbow hair
and chaos ensues! Everything always works out in the end, but during
each of the 3 stories of the book there are points where I feel Marge
could do with a babysitter of her own! As does Jemima, who I
sympathised with when everything went wrong. Mishaps happen, but
there is a new nemesis who looks innocent to adults but is a cunning
mischief maker-aka the pirate baby.
As a relation Jemima and her brother
have to put up with pirate baby who singlehandedly almost ruins a
wedding. How Marge solved that crisis had me speechless, it was
inventive and I wanted to know the finer details of that technique.
Antics at the swimming pool made me laugh, that baby has attitude and
an endless line of tricks. I hope it makes cameo appearances in the
next book! An uplifting read that will be on my reread shelf
especially when I need a pick me up!
