Totally Uncool

  • Interest Level: Grade 2
  • Reading Level: Grade 2

What would you do if your dad found a new girlfriend—one who was completely, totally uncool? No one could be worse than Dad’s new girlfriend, whom he calls (ugh) “Sweet Potato.” Totally Uncool is a clever and witty story with offbeat illustrations that bring to life the challenges of adjusting to a single parent’s new companion.

Reviews

Kirkus Reviews

“. . .intriguing illustrations carry readers along. . .”
—Kirkus Reviews, Pointer

School Library Journal

“This story is short, simple, and appealing. . . suitable for libraries needing to round out their holding in family relationships, especially those involving single-parent families.”
—School Library Journal

Publishers Weekly

“The affectionately mannered style, wherein the characters’ faces and features are sweepingly outsize and sometimes blurred, walk an assured line between the childlike and the sophisticated.”
—Publishers Weekly
