Four simple stories about a young girl who yearns to get a gold star for reading, who covets a fantastic hat in a shop window, who discovers a lost ring and must return it to its rightful owner, and who stops animal abuse in her neighbor's yard. Lolo is sweet and earnest and her troubles range from small to serious, but each one manages to be solved.

Not quite as mischievous as Ramona, similar in feel to Yasmin, and basically a solid read for anyone moving into chapter books.
