    If Fancy Nancy got angry. Really, really angry.Millie is quiet. Millie is sweet. Millie is mild. But the kids at school don't listen to her.

And they don't even say they're sorry!So that's when Millie decides she wants to be fierce! She frizzes out her hair, sharpens her nails and runs around like a wild thing.

So Millie decides to be nice--but to keep a little of that fierce backbone hidden inside her. In case she ever needs it again.With bright art and an adorable character, it's easy to empathize with Millie. Because everyone has a bad day, once in a while.Praise for MILLIE FIERCE“Millie Fierce is a delightfully naughty mix between Maurice Sendak’s Where the Wild Things Are and Molly Bang’s When Sophie Gets Angry.”--School Library Journal

Theirs is not to be a simple relationship as secrets and lies keep them apart and drive them together in need.PRAISE FOR FIERCE MINDI feel like an old-time prospector, panning for gold, sifting through indie books, looking for treasure. When I downloaded Fierce Mind, I found my golden nugget! What an amazing book!This book is pithy-full of concise ideas with much substance. ….It grabs at your interest and holds it steadily, page after page. ….. I found there was no lull in this story where I could put the book aside. I wanted to keep reading, propelled by those secrets.The characters are well-developed, interesting and endearing. …. What I really enjoy and actively seek out in a book is when ideas are presented that make me say, "Wow, I never thought about that before!" It expands me and induces my mind to go in directions I had previously never considered. Fierce Mind did that repeatedly. What I loved about Fierce Mind: The wonderful ideas, the suspense, the unusual story line.What I did not love: Can't think of a thing.Overall: Fierce Mind is truly a treasure! A five-star wonder!
