About this item
Move over, Junie B. Jones! Piper Green is back in her fourth chapter-book adventure, and it could take her all the way to China. Suitcase? Check. Passport? Check. Magic X-ray vision glasses from the Fairy Tree? Check, check, check! Piper Green's class is taking a school trip to China - well, they're taking a "pretend" trip, on a "pretend" airplane. And when all the kids in the class announce they've been on a plane plenty of times, Piper says she has, too. After all, it's just a pretend trip, right? But when Piper gets chosen to be a flight attendant, her little fib suddenly feels like a very big problem. Could the X-ray vision glasses Piper found in the Fairy Tree help her out? "Following in the fine tradition of spunky girls - Ramona, Amber Brown, Judy Moody, Clementine - Piper Green is set to make some friends in the early chapter book world." - School Library Journal's 100 Scope Notes "Piper has a winning combination of stubbornness, loyalty, and independence." - Publishers Weekly, starred review
