Piper Reed, Clubhouse Queen

Piper Reed, Clubhouse Queen
Author(s): Kimberly Willis Holt

Previously published as Piper Reed, the Great Gypsy.
The Gypsy Club Creed

We are the Gypsies of land and sea.
We move from port to port.
We make friends wherever we go.
And everywhere we go, we let people know
That we're the Gypsies of land and sea.

Piper's dad—the Navy Chief—might be gone again, but Piper's got plenty to keep her busy at home: new neighbors, a spaceship beach house, a trip to New Orleans, and most important, the upcoming Gypsy Club pet show. Piper is determined to win, but teaching her dog Bruna tricks seems nearly impossible. Bruna is simply un-teachable! Or is she? Join Piper as she embarks on new and exciting adventures!

Review(s):
“Piper's first-person narration will win over many readers with its accessible depiction of family's ups and downs. . . . Davenier's line-and-wash drawings illustrate the episodic story with wry humor.” —Booklist
