Part of Niki Daly’s Lolo Series
Best Fiction for Younger Readers of 2021— Chicago Public Library
Lolo’s back for a whole new set of adventures in You’re a Star, Lolo, the third book in Niki Daly’s Lolo series for beginning readers. Whether it’s turning her garden into a snail farm when snails eat up her precious tomato plant, or using her hair ribbons to save the day when a friend’s car breaks down – there’s a unique solution to every problem, and Lolo is going to find it!
These stories invite young readers into the life and adventures of fun-loving, clever, and curious Lolo, a young girl living in South Africa. Along with her mother and grandmother Gogo, she can always find a way to make the best out of any situation— even when things don’t go as planned.
In You’re a Star, Lolo, join Lolo as she makes her mom an extra-special soup, goes on vacation with her Gogo, and even tracks down the scary Ghorra-Ghorra-Hoooaaah-Bwoooooo-Monster sound she keeps hearing at night!
