What reviewers said
The text is easy to digest and defines related vocabulary (news ticker, fact-finding, solidarity) in terms young readers will understand. In Frankie, Platt has depicted a curious and smart young protagonist, bolstered by her loving, tightknit family. Full of personality, Frankieās toys cut endearing figures in Marleyās bright, cartoonish illustrations. Gently sheds light on protesting, solidarity, and the ins and outs of journalism.
One of my favorite new chapter book series. . . . This is an engaging introduction to protests, activism, and journalism.
