I loved the Mrs. Piggle Wiggle books growing up which means I so loved this book. I think it is great for teaching children that you should always think outside the box (no pun intended). It teaches them that the road less traveled can lead to great adventures and learning things they never thought they could. It teaches them to be a better 'you' and that everyone is more than others see on the surface. It is up to each of us to become more than others believe we can acheive and that we are only limited by the boundaries we set for ourselves. Use your imagination, the sky is the limit. There are a lot of extraordinary things about the Great Rapscott School for Girls. The students arrive by air in E-Z open tab boxes, they are hand-picked from homes where the girls' parents are so busy they scarcely notice they’re gone, the school is located in a lighthouse in the middle of nowhere, and the curriculum focuses on getting lost on purpose. The new students to arrive are Mildred, Bea, Fay, Annabelle and Dahlia, "who was a small girl because her parents forgot to remind her to grow." With plucky, cheerful Ms. Rapscott at the helm the girls go on many marvelous adventures, eat lots of birthday cake, and learn the basics of life that their parents are too busy to teach them, like changing underwear daily, keeping a secret, crossing a street safely, and finding missing socks. This utterly charming, delightful tween book is a little reminiscent of "Mary Poppins", and will have readers smiling the whole way through. It will especially appeal to young girls in search of a humorous, fun adventure story.
Daughters of the busiest parents in the world are invited to a special, fantastic boarding school.

"Utterly charming!" ([a:Sara Pennypacker|92198|Sara Pennypacker|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1309165313p2/92198.jpg]) and "Mary Poppins, Mrs. Piggle Wiggle... now Ms. Rapscott joins the league of lovable, magical instructors, and she's every bit as wonderful as her predecessors."

It's a little bit adventurous, a little bit magical, and very adorable. The illustrations are by far my favorite part of the book. The book begins and ends with multi-page illustration sequences, which is an unexpected and lovely addition to a middle-grade novel.
