From School Library Journal Gr 3–6—At Great Rapscott School for the Daughters of Busy Parents, the lessons learned are far from the ordinary. From getting lost on purpose to a making birthday cake, Ms. Rapscott strives to create well-rounded students who can enjoy an adventure. After being shipped to the school in flying boxes, the students are not as keen on the adventures as Ms. Rapscott. Nonetheless, after time, the girls begin to see the beauty and fun in the "less travelled road" which is the Great Rapscott School. Elise Primavera, author and illustrator of the "Auntie Claus" (Houghton Harcourt) series and The Secret Order of the Gumm Street Girls (HarperCollins, 2006), blends artful drawings with a whimsical story line. Although there is an underdevelopment in the background and characters, the plot unfolds nicely. The story is unpredictably unique, and if readers can suspend their disbelief, they will be swept up in the narrative.—Brittney Kosev, Dave Blair Elementary School, Farmers Branch, TX

RAPSCOTT’S GIRLS by Elise Primavera is a quirky middle grades boarding school fantasy.A group of reluctant 8-year-old girls arrive at the Great Rapscott School for Girls of Busy Parents to find one child missing. While in search for their missing classmate, they learn important lessons about bravery, self-reliance, and friendship. Although the premise is absurd, some readers will empathize with the characters who have absent parents. Although the clever, sophisticated humor will be lost on some younger children, older readers will find the humor appealing.Primavera’s interesting characters, easy-to-read writing style, and balance of descriptive versus dialogue segments were just right for lower, middle grade readers.The book begins and ends with beautiful illustrations showing the isolated, but fascinating lighthouse setting. Numerous black-and-white drawings are then woven throughout the story.Intended to be the first in a new series, librarians will find this to be a pleasing addition to the collection. With mostly female characters, it’s likely to appeal to young girls rather than boys.Learn more about the author at http://www.eliseprimavera.com/.Published by Dial on March 10, 2015.

What a wonderful, playful imagination she has. I also enjoyed the fun but seriously odd tale of the Gum Street Girls. So when I saw that she had a new book out, I checked the audio version out as soon as it was available at my library.The audio version is read by the talented Katherine Kellgren, winner of the 2011 young adult best voice in fantasy and science fiction and an Audiofile Golden Voice. She did an excellent job of bringing Miss Rapscott and her girls to life through all their adventures.Miss Rapscott runs a school for children of very busy parents. In fact, only the daughters of the world’s top 5 busiest couples are admitted. Their system is irresistibly easy to busy parents. Miss Rapscott simply mails them a large carton with instructions for mailing their child to the school.Four girls arrive at the school, but the fifth box is empty. Dahlia Thistle’s parents forgot to seal her box and she has somehow fallen out. Miss Rapscott and her two corgi assistants, Lewis and Clark, seem unconcerned but classmate Fay is determined to find Dahlia. Meanwhile the girls are busy learning all the things their parents never taught them because they are so extremely busy. Things like how to cross the street and to always change your underwear. The girls have difficulty getting along at first because making friends is also something their parents haven’t taught them to do. And they are not sure what to make of Mrs. Rapscott’s odd lessons or her course in “Finding your way” which requires them to get utterly lost on purpose to begin with but eventually they gel into a team that is capable of finding out what happened to Dahlia Thistle.Brimming with magic and humor and seasoned with a dash of mystery, this book is pure fun for middle grade readers.

Such a fun adventure, such whimsical By Lisa M DeSelm I'm trying to read up on children's and middle grade fiction, while working on my own middle grade fiction novel, and I came across this and was instantly drawn to it! My 8 year-old self (buried in my current 34-year-old one) would have worn this book dog-eared! Such a fun adventure, such whimsical, funny characters - Ms. Rapscott is definitely a teacher to love. Her illustrations are also really fun and sweet. I hope Elise Primavera gets the chance to continue their story in a future book
