I am reviewing a copy of Anybody Here Seen Frenchie?  Through HarperCollins Children’s Books, Katherine Tegen Books and Netgalley:




Aurora Petrequin’s is an eleven year old girl, with a best friend named Frenchie, but Frenchie has never said a word to her because he is unable to speak.






Aurora is in many ways the opposite of Frenchwoman, she’s loud, bouncy, and often blurts things out.  She’s always had trouble making friends but when Frenchie quietly choose Aurora as his friend, she was all in, in fact she chose him too.  They make a good team, sharing their love of the natural world in coastal Maine.



While in the woods Aurora and Frenchie encounter a piebald deer, a rare creature with a coat like a patchwork quilt. The piebald is alluring and mysterious. Whenever it appears, Aurora feels compelled to follow.






While they are at School Aurora looks out for Frenchie, in fact until this year they were classmates.  One morning after Frenchie doesn’t make it to his classroom Aurora can’t help,but feel as if she is to blame.  As the entire town searches everyone wonders: How is it possible that nobody has seen Frenchie?




I give Anybody Here Seen Frenchie five out of five stars!




Happy Reading!
