Beatrice Zinker, Upside Down Thinker
Beatrice Zinker, Upside Down Thinker | Shelley Johannes
7 posts | 6 read | 3 to read
This is the story of an eight-year-old girl who does her best thinking upside down. Her personality is a tractor beam, her attitude is completely inspiring, and her creator is a creative dynamo. Beatrice is looking forward to a year of pirate adventures, zombie battles and upside-down mysteries with her fellow-tomboy best friend, Lenny. But on the first day of year three, Lenny doesn't come to school in a ninja suit like they'd planned - instead she's wearing something pink and sparkly and ruffled. She doesn't seem interested in their old games any more, and worst of all she's found a new friend. It will take Beatrice's best upside-down thinking to find a way to fix this problem.

I love Calli but she takes forever to do her business outside so here we are all cuddled up after a 15 minute walk in the snow. Hoping to get some reading done now that these dogs have taken care of all business. Zeus is looking silly stretching before he pounced on us a second after this. #dogsoflitsy

Bookzombie It looks a little like Zeus is doing doggie yoga. 😄 6y

Beatrice can‘t wait to go back to school and be a THIRD GRADER / NINJA SPY until her BFF fails to show up ready for action. Will they be able to sort things out at recess or will Beatrice have to think of a new plan? #KindnessReads #tdscampread18 #kidlit #bookbento

A funny and upside down way to fix friendship issues so everyone wins! I REALLY hope Beatrice returns!!! Plus, the secondary characters are a delight, including Beatrice‘s family‘s delight in their multilingual, genius (or normal) baby.

I read this in one sitting while my daughter was at Yoga. Such a lovely book that I think is perfect for any child dealing with changing friendships. Geared towards 2nd and 3rd grade audience.

Beatrice was described to me as a modern day Clementine. Since my daughter is reading some Clementine as recommended summer reads, I thought this would be a good addition.

Journey Across the Hidden Islands is signed.

ReadingRover Nocturnals looks interesting. I've been eyeing it. 7y

First line: "Beatrice Zinker always did her best thinking upside down."
