About Molly Jo Daisy Being The New Kid: A Chapter Book
Product Description Chapter book! Imagine ten-year-old Molly Jo Daisy at the top of her game. She had a best friend and was a happy-go-lucky girl full of wonder and spirit. But when her family moves to Maple River, Maine, over a thousand miles away, Molly Jo expects her life will never be the same. In fact, she believes her world is turned upside down. While her younger, likable brother thrives on being new and making friends, Molly Jo struggles to meet people and adapt to her life in Maine. Everything at her new house and hometown seems different and awkwardly unfamiliar. Living in a different house, in a different neighborhood, and in a different state are totally not Molly Jo's wishes. However, Molly Jo's Grandma, her confidante, has constant faith in Molly Jo and encourages her to make friends and give her new home a chance. After Molly Jo discovers a secret book on her closet shelf and then meets her zany neighbors and their giraffe, her new life begins blossoming. Then Anna Lin, another new kid, enters the scene. Between the wise advice in the secret book she discovers, and the wisdom from her Grandma, Molly Jo learns positive, mindful affirmations to help her look beyond the rough patches. Amidst laughter and tears, she learns that being new in her hometown and school comes with privileges and responsibilities. Molly Jo learns how to be the "new kid" with grace and determination. Adults will enjoy the gentle humor in the story. "Molly Jo Daisy: Being the New Kid" is the 4th book in this sweet family life series; this book is the first chapter book. The other three books, for younger readers, are written in verse. If you like honest, heartfelt, and humorous stories from a kid's perspective, you'll enjoy this story. Please check it out now. Review 5 Stars! Really likeable characters - what a great series for kids that have positive messages We are falling in love with Molly Jo Daisy. We read the book "We have to move" which was a easy to read, lovely introduction to the series (I think!). This book is the second we have read and I just realised that there are more in the series, so we will definitely get the rest of them. I think the story really dives into the feelings and sentiments of the protaganist, I like the fact that the author doesn't dismiss those feelings as just being childish and acknowledges that changes can be huge in a kid's life. I love the fact that there are very actionable ideas on how to deal with the anxiety that comes with big changes in life. Once you get reading, you are sure to fall in love with the characters and will want to read more and follow their adventures. Very lovely writing style, definitely a series we will follow.---Vicky Wong, author of the I Love Being Different book series Wonderful, inspiring, attention-grabbing book! Loved it! I really enjoyed reading Molly Jo Daisy. It starts out with Molly Jo's worries about moving. Then the story goes on to tell about the family adventures on their way to their new home. Molly Jo didn't have the best attitude about the whole move with leaving her home, her best friend and her hometown behind, but that soon changed. Through lessons she learned from the "secret book" and her grandma, overcoming challenges, the experience she had in school and learning about her new town, Molly Jo has a whole new positive outlook in the end. I love the ending! Molly Jo Daisy keeps your attention going and wanting to keep reading. I highly recommend this book! I can't wait to give the hardcopy to both of my nine-year-old granddaughters! ---T. G. Zenner, author From the Inside Flap "Home is a feeling, Molly Jo. Home is right here, right now, wherever we are. Let's feel it in our hearts." From the Back Cover Ten-year-old Molly Jo Daisy was at the top of her game.
