Constance C. Greene

Meet Isabelle, the original itch

 Isabelle is an itch. She can’t sit still and is always jumping from one thing to another. Being an itch means that she plans, jokes, plots, and schemes her way through life. Isabelle fights her best friend, Herbie, every day after school, and she’s probably the fastest girl in her class, especially now that she has her new Adidas sneakers. Isabelle’s dad says she could climb a mountain if she could just focus on one thing at a time. But why do one thing when you could do ten?

 When her older brother needs a substitute for his morning paper route, Isabelle has a chance to prove to everyone, especially herself, that she can channel her energy into something useful.

 In this, the first in Constance C. Greene’s rollicking Isabelle series, readers will discover that a little determination can make all the difference.

Isabelle the Itch

The irrepressible Isabelle is back, teaching new friends old tricks

 No one warned the new kid on the block, third grader Guy Gibbs, to watch out for a spirited, newspaper-delivering fifth grader named Isabelle. But as he helps the movers get his family’s piano through the front door, there she is: the original itch herself.

 Before long, Isabelle makes Guy her protégé. Suddenly she’s introducing him to the thrills of fighting with your best friend and wearing your mother’s pantyhose while robbing a bank.

 Isabelle’s energy is infectious, and Guy is having fun. But soon, stirring up trouble starts to feel like more effort than it’s worth, and Guy must decide between being a tough kid and being himself.

Isabelle Shows Her Stuff, the second in Constance C. Greene’s boisterous Isabelle series, is an entertaining and lively follow-up tale for the itch’s young fans.

Isabelle Shows Her Stuff

It’s up to Isabelle, Guy, and Herbie to show Little “Norphan” Frannie why reading is so much fun

 Meet Frannie, a “norphan.” It’s what Frannie says you call a kid who lost her daddy and then her mommy (when mom left to go find a new dad). Frannie is staying with her “aunt,” a waitress at the local café who brings home leftover pancakes for dinner.

 When Isabelle the irrepressible itch discovers that Frannie can’t read, she gets right to work. Reading is her favorite thing in the world, and she’s pulling out all the stops to help her new friend learn how to do it.

 With familiar characters like Guy and Herbie as well as the perennial antagonist Mary Eliza along for Isabelle’s continued adventures, Isabelle and Little Orphan Frannie, the third book in Constance C. Greene’s Isabelle series, offers a fun, engaging read for Isabelle’s young fans.
