编辑推荐:Gr. 3-5. Nine-year-old Roxie Warbler wishes she were brave like Uncle Dangerfoot and his adventurous colleague, Lord Thistlebottom, whose book, Lord Thistlebottom's Book of Pitfalls and How to Survive Them, she has practically memorized. Instead, she is afraid of many things, especially Helvetia's Hooligans, school bullies who harass her. After a playground confrontation spills over into fantasy and the kids find themselves on a deserted island facing hunger, thirst, and robbers on the lam, Roxie creatively applies Lord Thistlebottom's advice to help her survive, increase her confidence, and change the Hooligans from foes to friends. Part adventure, part comedy, part sympathetic portrayal of coping with bullying, Naylor's latest, written in droll, slightly formal prose, mixes fantasy, absurdity, and reality in a way that never diminishes or overwhelms the story's heart. Boiger's black-and-white illustrations catch the energy of Naylor's over-the-top yet sympathetically portrayed characters.

内容简介:Lord Thistlebottom's Book of Pitfalls and How to Survive Them has taught Roxie Warbler how to handle all sorts of situations. If Roxie's ever lost in the desert, or buried in an avalanche, or caught in a dust storm, she knows just what to do. But Lord Thistlebottom has no advice to help Roxie deal with Helvetia's Hooligans, the meanest band of bullies in school.

Then Roxie finds herself stranded on a deserted island with not only the Hooligans but also a pair of crooks on the lam, and her survival skills may just save the day -- and turn the Hooligans into surprising allies.
