About this book
After visiting a sanctuary for retired lab chimpanzees, Marty wants to follow in the footsteps of her idol Jane Goodall and help with their care. But "adopting a chimp" is expensive, so Marty and her third-grade pals hatch a plan to raise money by holding a talent show at school and opening a pet-sitting business in Marty's basement. It turns out that each pet has a personality of its own, and wrangling them is much harder than Marty expected. How will Marty keep her latest great idea from going to the dogs?Reviews
Praise for the Marty McGuire series"A quick, amusing read . . . a perfect match for its young intended audience." --KIRKUS REVIEWS, starred review
"Amusing and always engaging. The gray-washed ink drawings capture the chatacters' quirks and emotions with precision. [A] lively chapter book." --BOOKLIST
"The standout here, however, is Marty herself, whose spirit and confidence carry . . . the novel. While the book is clearly targeted at early chapter-book readers, the spiritied dialogue and hilarious descriptions make this a fine read-aloud candidate as well." --BULLETIN OF THE CENTER FOR CHILDREN'S BOOKS
