      Tilly is a trickster, she is always playing tricks. In the end her parents get her back and play a trick on her. Goes to show that if you play tricks odds are that someone will get you back, so beware!!
    • 3/5
      Certainly better than other celebrity books (*coughJayLenocough*), but this one lacked a little in originality. It was a lot of fun, though, to live vicariously through Tilly and her tricks (and I loved her little thrill of being sent home mean, "no school!"). Good for an older storytime crowd that will get the humor and appreciate the lesson.
