Horn Book Review

In Boo, Junie B. dresses as a scary clown for Halloween to combat her fear of real trick-or-treating monsters. In Shipwrecked, she causes a disaster starring in a Columbus Day school play while her class suffers a stomach bug. The slight, mishap-based plots are poorly shaped, and the idea of a first grader using cutesy baby talk (""Finally, Herbert got frustration in him"") strains credibility.
