About
Bold and bright Norah spends a week with her spirited great-aunt Norah in this tale of hilarity and heroism. When Norah refuses to take her great-aunt's advice, she's warned that something "eye-popping, heart-stopping, holy-moly horrible" will happen. But Norah manages to make a bad situation a personal triumph with her sense of humor and quick thinking. Told with affection and insight, Smarty Pants -- winner of the McNally-Robinson Book for Young People Award -- is a comical story about the value of being your own person, as well as the surprising possibilities that exist between true friends. Girls will love the special relationship between the two Norahs.
