Is that something to get mad about? Iggy doesn't think so. No one got hurt, so there's no problem. No one got hurt except for that one time, that one time when the Best Idea Ever turned into the Worst Idea of All Time.Iggy is sorry he did it. He is really, really, really sorry. "For what?" you might ask. "What did he do?"Well, you'll have to read the book to find out.Things Iggy will NOT do in this book: Be the most polite kid ever. Play the cello. Think before acting. Learn a lesson. Regret his actions. (Most of them, anyway.)

In fact, she has written NINETEEN books for kids, and all of them are very very good. Mostly, they're funny too. She has written the award-winning series Ivy Bean; the also-award-winning Magic Half and its sequel, Magic in the Mix; Nothing, for young adult readers (that means it has bad words in it) ; a picture book called What John Marco Saw (don't worry--she didn't draw the pictures) ; and The Best of Iggy, which is the first book in a new series about--you guessed it!--a kid named Iggy who does not play the cello, plant flowers by the side of the road, or learn his lesson and become a better person. Still, he's a pretty great kid.
