Sibling Problem Solver: Kirkus Review

KIRKUS REVIEWSBOOK 32019256 PAGES
“Both hilarious and wise—another winner in this adventure series.”

Clara underlined these parts

Kirkus described Dewey as an established sixth-grade problem solver whose business expands from parent and teacher cases into sibling problems. The review singled out the hidden attic office, Clara Cottonwood and her cookies, the comic escalation of Dewey's schemes, and the way some of those plans backfire.

It also noted that the book moves beyond pranks into more reflective territory: younger siblings' need for attention, questions about color and gender assumptions, and the broader mix of children in Dewey's world.
