The Gorillas of Gill Park

Rating:
Summary: Go, Gorillas!
Review: The spirit of Pippi Longstocking, Mrs. Piggle Wiggle and Momo live in the Amy Gordon's Gorillas of Gill Park. The people who inhabit Gill Park exhibit spunk and zest. When Willie visits his Aunt Bridget,the feelings he brings with him (of exclusion, being different, and not quite good enough) become secondary to the need to save Gill Park and help Liesl. This is a story in which the wit and resourcefulness of the characters, not magic, save the day. Drawings by Matt Cordell perfectly capture the whimsical tone of the writing as well as the characters depicted in the story.
