Booklist - 03/15/2017 *Starred Review* Renata Wolfman doesn’t have any friends or siblings, and that’s just the way she likes it. Typically, she spends her time reading and building models or inventions, and on this day, she decides she needs a big project. While in the midst of converting a refrigerator box into a submarine, she is interrupted by her neighbor Livingston Flott, who insists on hiding from his angry brother in the Wolfmans’ house—much to Renata’s annoyance. Livingston buzzes with energy (hence his nickname, Fly), and his amiable nature seems impervious to Renata’s standoffish personality. After admiring her handiwork, Livingston suggests that they take the sub on an imaginary voyage—unfamiliar waters for Renata’s fact-focused mind. Undeterred, he coaches Renata through the basics of pretending, and soon the pair is immersed by ocean water and wild adventure. This fun-filled early chapter book brims with personality as the curmudgeonly Renata opens herself up to friendship and new experiences. Lively illustrations capture the kids’ imaginative antics, while the relatable story is accessibly written. Young readers will enthusiastically embrace this entertaining odd couple. - Copyright 2017 Booklist.
