Moxy Maxwell Does Not Love Stuart Little

By: Peggy Gifford

Narrated by: Clea Lewis

Length: 1 hr and 4 mins

Publisher's summary

Here's the first audiobook in the hilarious Moxy Maxwell series, which includes Moxy Maxwell Does Not Love Writing Thank-You Notes and Moxy Maxwell Does Not Love Practicing the Piano.

It wasn't as if Moxy Maxwell hadn't tried to do her summer reading. She and Stuart Little had been inseparable all summer, like best friends. If Stuart Little wasn't in her backpack, it was in her lap...or holding up the coffee table...or getting splashed when Moxy went swimming. But now it's the end of August - the day before fourth grade. And if Moxy doesn't read all of Stuart Little immediately, there are going to be "consequences".

It may look like Moxy is doing nothing, but actually she is very busy with a zillion highly crucial things, like cleaning up her room (sort of) and training her dog and taking a much-needed rest in the hammock.

Of course our heroine does manage to finish her book, falling so in love with it that she finds herself reading under the covers with a flashlight, late into the night.

Critic reviews

"With its brilliantly accessible application of a usually complex narrative technique, this work represents a significant raising of the bar for writers of chapter books. Technique or no technique, kids will recognize Moxy - and they will love her." ( Kirkus Reviews)
"The short, sassy chapters have an immediacy that may have readers wringing their hands as the clock ticks down." ( Booklist)
