Review "A playful and timely tale that teaches kids how to spot fearmongering and follow evidence. In Gamarra's illustrated children's book, government-driven fear spreads faster than facts, but one child is determined to find the truth. [...] The book doubles as a sharp lesson on misinformation, teaching children to question authority, examine evidence, and think critically. Gamarra's narrative encourages active engagement, showing the advantages of careful observation and rational inquiry. Pilosio's illustrations complement the story fantastically [...]"- Kirkus, Starred Review"Jibberjack, Fibberjack: A Made-Up Monster Mystery, written by Stefanie Gamarra and illustrated by Marta Pilosio, is a witty and inventive story that turns small-town gossip into a brilliant investigation. Young Frida's sharp mind and refusal to be dismissed by adults make her a standout hero, especially as she pieces together clues about a so-called monster that seems to frighten everyone but her. The dialogue is age-appropriate with wit that elevates the story, and good twists right down to the moment when the real culprit is caught. The illustrations are in a bold cartoon style that breathes life into each scene, and on every page. Frida's confidence and cleverness make this book a genuine delight to read and one that will stay with readers of any age. Very highly recommended."- Readers' Favorite, ? ? ? ? ? "[...] Stefanie Gamarra's delightfully original story will find its place in many elementary-level libraries, and is especially recommended for adults who read aloud to kids. With its very different take on the nature of monsters and the interpretation of clues, Jibberjack, Fibberjack entertains a wide audience with a story that will prove hard to predict and infinitely entertaining."- D.
