Another book from my Little Free Library that I wanted to read just for the fun of it and now will be returning having read it.

This one is adapted from two TV episodes of the Lizzie McGuire show from Disney. I watched this show when it was on, loved it. I've been a longtime fan of Savage Steve Holland, the animator of Lizzie's internal monologue, so that was my initial reason for tuning in, then I just fell for the characters and the writing.

First up, Lizzie's brother Matt winds up on the wrong bus and spends the day inventing a new life to impress Lizzie's classmates, each claim getting more and more ridiculous, but the kids eat it up, much to Lizzie's chagrin.

The second story, originally written by Nina Bargiel, involves a class project where Lizzie's classmates all pair up to see what married life is like. Lizzie doesn't get the match she wants, so is distracted during most of it, even though she gets lucky enough to match with her best friend. Turns out, her nemesis is out to ruin things for her other best friend, who did happen to get her match choice.

Two fun episodes, worth the read. ( )
