Gr 2-4--Iggy's adventures continue in this series installment. Iggy tries to convince readers that he is not responsible for a get-rich-quick scheme involving the tooth fairy. In the beginning, Iggy is thrilled when his best friend Diego builds a tree house. He is less thrilled when Diego decides to form a members-only club that requires members pay $11.60 to play in the tree house. Iggy tries several methods to raise the money but with no success. When he finds a bag of teeth on the sidewalk, he comes up with a brilliant plan to gather funds. The short chapters and engaging text will make this a fun and accessible work for those who are newer to chapter books. Readers will enjoy Iggy's silliness and his attempts to prove that he is not 100 percent to blame for his actions. Readers of previous entries will enjoy continuing Iggy's adventures. The illustrations are suitably silly and add to the fun of the text. VERDICT Buy this amusing title if the other books in the series are popular.--V. Lynn Christiansen

Praise for Iggy The Legend

"Amusing . . . Short chapters and engaging text will make this a fun and accessible work for those who are newer to chapter books. Readers will enjoy Iggy's silliness and his attempts to prove that he is not 100 percent to blame for his actions. Readers will enjoy continuing Iggy's adventures." —School Library Journal
Annie Barrows
Annie Barrows (she/her) regrets to report that she is to blame for the following things: dropping the iron on the kitchen floor (twice); microwaving her children's sippy cups (sorry about that, kids); and declaring in print that komodo dragons don't poop (they do). Everything else she ever did was fine. Even the thing with the Barbie shoes. It wasn't her idea.

Sam Ricks (he/him) is the illustrator of the Geisel Award-winner Don't Throw it to Mo! and the Stinkbomb and Ketchup-Face books. He is thankful that his parents let him live through a surprising number of Iggycidents. He lives with his family in Utah. Twitter @Samuelricks / Website samricks.com
