review:
'Wolfie and Fly: Band on the Run' by Cary Fagan with illustrations by Zoe Si is another chapter book adventure with two strange friends with wild imaginations.

Renata "Wolfie" Wolfman is ordered to join the school talent contest. She has no interest, but decides to try to take up dance. She doesn't have the patience, so when her friend Livingston "Fly" Flott shows up at her doorstep with a song he wrote and a plastic guitar, she decides that being in a band with him, while still not a thing she wants to do, is better than her other options. Before long, Wolfie is putting together a drum set of household objects and the two start practicing and imagining what it would be like to be really famous....

I think I liked the first book just a bit more, but these are still pretty likeable characters. Oddball Fly doesn't let anything faze him. Not even comments from Wolfie. She doesn't know it, but he's just the friend she needs. The imagination bits were on full display here and helped Wolfie get over a bit of stage fright. I think that kind of visualization is a good lesson for young performers.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Tundra Books, Penguin Random House Canada, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
