She lives with different people. She experiences adventures with her teacher Mrs. Bowzer and her dog. This would be a good book for second grade. ( ) Everything on a Waffle is the story of a young girl named Primrose who lives in a small Canadian coastal town. Her parents go missing (at sea!) and she ends up living with her uncle Jack. She also frequents a local diner where everything is served on a waffle. Though I wouldn't say this story hinges on food, there's a recipe at the end of every chapter, which is fun if you're into cooking. I was not super into the reader of the audio book. In fact, I have a hard time concentrating on audio books in general, even though I have no problem following radio programs. I don't understand why that is, but the long and short of it is I probably would've liked this more if I'd read it. Although this is a book for children, there’s a lot here for adults. Namely, the adult personalities seen through the eyes of a child. With her parents missing at sea presumed dead, it’s interesting to watch how the other adults react to Primrose’s plight and her insistence that they will return. It’s a decent read for the younger readers, and though I wouldn’t call it a must-have for a child’s library, it would be an interesting one to include. Contains some very peculiar recipes. no reviews | add a review
