Praise for The Girl Who Has Everything “...While Lemony Snicket fans may be drawn to this book in search of yet another tale of orphan woe, they'll find a coming of age story told with insight and humor. ...Phoebe's journey is much more than a change of scenery—it’s a change of heart. Recommended.” —Library Talk “Phoebe’s first-person narrative carries the farce of the Cinderella-in-reverse scenario.”—Booklist “This brief, lighter-than-air tale is both amusing and engaging... Fluffy and fun, with just the right touch of message.”—Kirkus Reviews “Phoebe is very good at getting rid of wicked stepmothers.”—Arizona Daily Star
