Rebecca's Reviews > Olivia Kidney Stops for No One

Olivia Kidney has another great adventure in her second book. Personally, this is my favorite of the Olivia Kidney books.

Olivia moves into another weird building, this one a pretty fancy brownstone The rooms are flooded, and the next door neighbors are a posh finishing school for kids trying to act mean and rich.

That school was the most interesting element in any of the Olivia Kidney books. All the kids have to be renamed after foreign cities like Paris Hilton, dye their hair “butter-blond”, and harass the help. It didn’t radicalize me to eat the rich, just to wonder what my life would be like if I joined them.

A superb episodic piece of imagination with all the cool setting details that captivated me as a kid and wonder if New York was actually like this.
