Buy "Definitely Daisy: Just You Wait, Winona: 2" on Amazon

This is another in a series of short chapter books in the 'Definitely Daisy' series based around the character of Daisy Morelli and her schoolmates. Here, Daisy and co. take on the unbearably virtuous Winona and try to make her halo slip a little. At times the situations are strained, even within the context of reading at this level, but overall the action rattles along and should keep the pages turning. That the characters come from a variety of ethnic backgrounds is suggested in the text and shown in the illustrations. These, in black and white, suitably reflect the characters and their activities.
