Six Stars & No Arms Needed: Juniper Reviews "Insignificant Events in the Life of a Cactus"

Fifth-grader and Battle of the Books competitor Juniper joins host Hadassah Knight on The Story Squad to make the case for The Insignificant Events in the Life of a Cactus by Dusty Bowling and she makes it convincingly. Juniper's insightful take on Ava, a girl born without arms who moves to an Arizona wild west theme park and stumbles into a mystery, will have you heading straight to the library. From laugh-out-loud moments to unexpected twists and a few happy tears, Juniper breaks it all down with the kind of thoughtful honesty only a true bookworm can deliver. Her takeaway? People are so much more than what makes them different and some books deserve more than five stars.Every kid has a favorite book — come tell us yours!
