This is apparently a very early book of MaryJanice Davidson's that was realized for the treasure it is and published after her Betsy books became popular. (the World Trade Center was mentioned as being refurbished shows it was probably written before 2001).

The characters were funny and I adore Fred (just don't let her know that!) with her wit and sarcasm. Fred says what she thinks and doesn't let anyone's dislike of her get her down. (wish we could all have such confidence!) She, for the most part, has common sense and gets irked by a lot of things that most of us do which is great for a laugh. "Rilly rilly!"

There are too many funny things to cover in a review, but if you love a character who's funny and sarcastic, Fred is for you! Can't wait to read the next one!
