About This Book
Reach for this book when your child's boundless imagination starts to outpace their common sense or when they are learning about the ethics of 'borrowing' other people's stories. Jenny Archer is an enthusiastic protagonist who, after receiving a used camera, decides to enter a photo contest. Her quest for the perfect candid shot leads her to misinterpret a neighbor's actions, creating a hilarious but meaningful lesson on jumping to conclusions and the importance of privacy. It is an ideal bridge for early chapter book readers, offering a gentle exploration of social responsibility and the realization that what we see isn't always the full truth. Parents will appreciate how it models the process of admitting a mistake and making amends after a creative misunderstanding goes too far.
