    About this ebook

    This is the story of what happened after Fox Street.

    Mo Wren knew that eventually she, her dad, and her sister, Wild Child Dottie, would have to move from beloved Fox Street. She just never expected it to happen so soon.

    At the Wrens’ new place, things are very different. The name of the street—East 213th—has absolutely zero magic. And there’s no Mrs. Petrone to cut her hair, no Pi Baggott to teach her how to skateboard, no Green Kingdom to explore. She’s having trouble fitting in at her new school and spending a lot of time using the corner bus shelter for her Thinking Spot. Worst of all, Mo discovers that the ramshackle restaurant Mr. Wren bought is cursed. Only Dottie, with her new friends and pet lizard, Handsome, is doing the dance of joy.

    For the first time in her life, Mo feels lost and out of place. It’s going to take a boy who tells whoppers, a Laundromat with a mysterious owner, a freak blizzard, and some courage to help her find her way home for good.

      his is a modern Ramona story - it is absolutely enjoyable on all levels. A great chapter book for early to mid-elementary age students to read. This is a classic in the making.

      The antics and adventures of Mo Wren will keep any child's attention just as Beverly Cleary did with her books. This little girl is always up to something or into something making each page an exciting page to read.

      I especially liked the fact that this book deals with a child's hopes and fears. Children who read this will be able to relate to Mo as she begins a new journey in life and moves from the home that she has grown up and and loved for so long. From a house on a street to a home in a building Mo is up for many challenges and changes. Too often young children feel they are alone in their fears and dissapointments when the things they hoped for and loved change. In this book children are invited along to travel with Mo as she faces these things and sees that life is full of change, challenge, a little fear and lots of laughs.

      children's fiction (4th-6th grades). This is the second in the Wren family series, but stands alone just fine--I haven't read the first one, but guess that it had to do with how the two girls (and their dad) coped with the sudden loss of the mother.
      In this installment, Wren adjusts to a new school (and making new friends) in a different part of town. Colorful (diverse, even) and immediately lovable characters populate the story and make you feel like part of the family.

      This was cute, it's a really charming family story and it's pleasant and entertaining. Mo and her family move to a new neighborhood where her father is attempting to open a sports bar*, where she has the expected ups and downs of going to a new school, meeting new people, etc etc. I liked that it's a pretty classic plot - it's wholesome enough to be found in a 1950s book - but it reads very current.I would probably give it four stars for the its enjoyability, but overall only three because despite being charming, nothing about it really stands out for me.Grade: BRecommended: This would be a good gift book for 8 - 11 year old readers (it's not a reach in terms of reading level or content, so could also go a little younger for advanced readers).*they kept calling it a sports bar, but it made me curious about whether the author has been to a sports bar.

      This was the second o Wren book The first on was called “What Happened on Fox Street”. I loved the character of Mo. With her mother dead, she has taken on a more adult role in the family. She has always loved living on Fox Street so when her father moves them and decides to open a restaurant she is less than thrilled. She finds friends in the most unlikely place, the Laundromat. She realizes how good her friends are as they help with her father’s endeavor. Dottie almost seemed too good to be true. She seemed happy all the time. She sends people from her place over to help Mo’s father. Dottie has been hiding something by overcompensating with her happiness and outlook. Mo’s little sister seems to fit in easily and Mo resents it. What Mo doesn’t realize is how much her sister looks up to her and relies on her. This is a story that everyone can relate to on some level. This is a book I loved and a book I was thrilled to put on my school shelves.

      Mo has moved from her beloved Fox street to East 213th. No street name just a number. No one knew her on this confusing street, with a discombobulated, mishmash feel to it. This new environment was what Mo's dad considered to be “The land of opportunity.” Basically, he got a good deal on an old restaurant that some guy abandoned, leaving behind an old smeared apron hanging from a hook.It wasn't until Mo met Shawn that she learned about Corky's Curse, more fondly known as “the-you-know-what.” Now, the big concern for Mo wasn't the bumps in the night but what could happen or will happen at Wren's House. The newest local restaurant her father has worked so hard to put together for her and her sister. According to Shawn, Wren's House used to be owned by a sweet old lady who sold pies, but was arrested for running a gambling ring. Then there was Bruno. He ran an Italian restaurant but hated kids. Folks got sick eating his food and he went out of business. And finally, there was the mysterious case of Corky, the prior missing owner. And so solving a mystery begins. Mo is not only dealing with a whole new neighborhood where nobody knows her name, but she is also struggling with growing pains and making new friends. Springstubb has done an excellent job of creating a new adventure for Mo. Her first book, “What Happened On Fox Street” introduces these wonderful characters that you will grow to love and admire. The emotional ups and downs of a typical teenager will have readers wanting to read both books all over again.

      It seems like it is so hard to find children’s books about happy families these days. First the junior high books and now the elementary school books have taken on the task of presenting Families with Big Problems. Parents Getting Divorced. Abusive Parents. Alcoholic Parents. Even Homeless Families. Mo Wren is an exception. Yes, Mo’s mom has died, but that’s not the focus of this book. The plot centers on how difficult it is to move and make new friends when you are a child. A very common and difficult experience for kids, I think, and one that this book handles in a beautiful and realistic way. You grow to love Mo and her little sister and her dad and all her old neighbors and her new neighbors as you read this book. Mo is befriended in her new home by the kid that annoys everyone, and Mo is torn about becoming his friend. A very common experience for kids, and, again, one that this book handles in a beautiful and realistic way.I finished the book and found that I loved it so much that I wanted to read the first book in the series, What Happened on Fox Street. Let’s hope the author is hard at work on book three. Delightful.Thank you to the author who sent me this copy for review.

      Mo Wren, her little sister Dottie, and their father are moving away from Mo's beloved Fox Street, to their new home on the un-magical-sounding East 213th Street, where their father plans to open a sports bar. As they settle into their new home, new neighborhood, and new schools, Mo struggles with homesickness for her old neighborhood, while Dottie seems to make a seamless transition. It takes a lots of things -- a graffiti'd bus stop, a homey laundromat with a wise and generous owner, a grumpy neighbor, a couple of new friends (including a seriously weird boy), and a lost-and-found blue sweatshirt, but eventually Mo does feel more at home.With all the charm of its predecessor What Happened on Fox Street, this book will inspire laughter and tears and delight in readers young and old.
