Poppy Mayberry, The Monday by Jennie K. Brown

I really wanted to know more about them as well as Poppy.Īnd the whole concept of the days of the week and the powers was so fascinating to me. And the other characters really added to the story and plot making the story fun and interesting. Funny, awkward, still figuring out who she is, but determined. I absolutely loved Poppy! She’s the type of quirky character that I adore. The characters in this book are so much fun and so likeable. As they work together there are twists and turns and surprises for them and for readers. The kids must learn to work together and control their powers if they are going to complete their mission. Poppy being Poppy, of course, brought her pup, Pickle as her personal item so time is of the essence here. Soon the two girls find themselves forced to work together along with other classmates to get personal items that they brought to the academy back. It isn’t long until her worst nightmare comes true: she has to attend Power Academy to learn how to control her telekinesis…with her fellow classmate and nemesis Ellie, a Thursday who misuses (or rather overuses) her telepathy or ability to read minds. In Poppy Mayberry’s case, she’s a Monday which means she is telekinetic…but she’s not quite mastered her power yet which leads to some humorous moments. In Nova, the day of the week you were born on determines what power you possess. Poppy Mayberry, The Monday was a delightful read that left me wanting to read more of this charming little town and its residents. *I received a digital ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review* It's really sweet and I love the ending so much! Looking forward to reading Book Two :) At last, she turns out to be not so bad (pink lovers can do no wrong) and becomes super nice.Īt the end, Poppy and Ellie try to understand each other and at last learn to accept each other and even become friends. Everything she owns is pink (PINK 😍 I LOVE PINK). She keeps a nail file with her at all times and keeps on re-applying her nail polish. She's got a wicked sense of humor and BONUS: SHE HAS A YORKIE NAMED PICKLE AND BRINGS HER TO SUMMER SCHOOL! Another fellow animal lover <3 I really enjoyed reading the story from her perspective.Īt first, I didn't like Ellie, Poppy's enemy, because she seems so snobby. Poppy, the narrator of the story, is such a nice girl. I was born on a Friday, meaning if I was a resident of Nova, I would be able to disappear! (Who needs the invisibility cloak when you can make yourself disappear?) The day of the week you're born on determines what powers you have, and that is so cool, really. I really like the whole 'weekday powers' thing. This is such a cute little story! I haven't read middle-grade books in so long and this is one of the best I've ever read. I received a review copy from Chapter by Chapter in exchange for an honest review.
