Penelope Crumb (Penelope Crumb, #1)

by Shawn K. Stout

 Penelope Crumb is no ordinary fouth grader. And when she discovers that she *gasp* has a big nose she's initially devastated. But when her mother lets her know that she has the same nose as her Grandpa, Penelope perks up. And then she perks up even more when she finds out that Grandpa isn't dead like she expected--he's just gone. And she decides that it's her job to find him. A sweet and funny story with tons of heart and hijinx about Penelope using her big nose to bring her family together.

Reviews

[Briana @ Pages Unbound]

Penelope Crumb, I assume, is supposed to be a spunky girl out for adventures. She’s the type of child who can embrace the fact she has a large nose, just knowing it must give her super sniffing powers, and who has so much heart and good will she refuses to accept her mother’s decision to stay out of touch with her grandfather. Unfortunately, in spite of these admirable characteristics, I took a personal dislike to Penelope from the beginning of the book and never became endeared to her.
