Okay, so Marigold with a mohawk isn’t something I thought I needed in my life but now that I’ve seen it, I want her to keep this look forever.

Other than the awesomeness that is punk Marigold, we meet a bunch of new unicorns, including Prince Aspirational Arrogance, whose presence we absolutely need to bask in.

Phoebe explains nerdiness to Dakota.

“I’m a nerd. Everything I SAY is a nerdy thing to say.”

We discuss whether graphic novels count as books. Let me clear this up for you… they absolutely do.

Marigold’s distraction hat is very distracting. And definitely more tasty than her contemplation hat.

There’s a portal to a dark reality. A really dark reality.

Phoebe tries out for the school play and Marigold embraces her inner snail. Phoebe ups her procrastination game.

Phoebe goes to music camp and Sue is there. I love Sue!

Phoebe’s concentration face is one of my new favourite things. She’s so relatable.

There’s also a plot twist.

After feeling like I was going over old ground in the last collection, this one felt fresh and new and sparkly. I’m not entirely sure why a nine year old needs to be having their first kiss but other than that weirdness, I loved this collection.

I’m rounding up from 4.5 stars.
