Great book for young readers

My daughter read the first Jellaby book with her 3rd grade class and begged for more. Book two lived up to her expectations!
Awesome... and more please!

Yay! I'm so glad the second Jellaby finally came out. Portia, Jason, and Jellaby come closer to finding out where Jellaby is from, while Portia gets a chance *maybe* to confront her father, who has been missing for years but seems mysteriously connected to Jellaby's appearance. There's monsters, there's talking pigeons, and lots of carrots! This was a fast-paced volume and it was over before I knew it. I really like how Soo shows Portia's strengths and weaknesses... she's so strong, but she's also a young girl who's missing her father and has trouble really keeping friends and letting them get close. Xolotl's story (read the book to find out more!) is also sad, and it leaves me with a lot of questions. I have to think there will be another volume, to reveal more about the masked figure, Jellaby's history, and Portia's father, but the way this was ended made me almost think that this was it. I really really really hope that's not the case! I would've also liked more Jason... because Jason is sweet and funny, and there's obviously something going on there with his connection to Xolotl. So... more please! On a tiny note, Kean Soo's note about the Food pavilion was hilarious.
