Industry Reviews
"A hybrid of Harriet [the spy], Blossom [Culp], and Anastassia [Krupnik], irrepressible Gooney bird is that rare bird in children's fiction: one that instantly becomes an amusing and popular favorite."
Kirkus Reviews (08/15/2002)
"Lowry's masterful writing style reaches directly into her audience, managing both to appeal to young listeners and to engage older readers."
