Fun

This is the kind of book that you read when you have had a bad day and just need to laugh. Quincy is a girl who just wants to have fun. Her family and friends think that she is crazy. I read still read this book and I am 17. A very fun and happy book.

Wonderfully written, totally engaging.

Quincy Rumpel is a young girl entering the sixth grade with pierced ears, rosy-hued glasses, and a Save-the-Whales T-shirt. As Quincy's father tries to market his latest business venture (the Rumpel Rebounders), she wants to launch a grand plan to advertise the Rebounders and ensure stardom for herself at the same time. But how can she do it? Should she use her newfound talent arising from the school music class? Or perhaps her skills at unicycling or sword-dancing. Or maybe as the star of the school play? Starring Quincy Rumpel is a lively, engaging, and totally entertaining book for grade school and junior high readers. Other highly recommended titles in Betty Waterton's wonderfully written series starring this precocious, energetic, and charming girl include: Quincy Rumple; Starring Quincy Rumpel; Quincy Rumpel, P.I.; Morris Rumpel And The Wings Of Icarus; Quincy Rumpel And The Sasquatch Of Phantom Cove; Quincy Rumpel And The Wooly Chaps; Quincy Rumpel And The Mystifying Experience; and Quincy Rumpel And The All-day Breakfast.
