Pippi in the South Seas

The fantasy book Pippi in the South Seas by Astrid Lindgren is about a young girl and her 2 friends going on crazy adventures. The girl’s name is Pippi and she lives with no parents at all. Pippi is friends with her neighbors Annika and Tommy. They are very good, well-mannered children. Pippi on the other hand is a wild, spunky kid. The main problem happens when the children are at Kurrekurredutt Island (where pippi’s father is king). The problem is that when the grown ups leave the island, two bandits come and try to trick the children. The bandits’ names are Jim and Buck. They want to steal the island children’s marbles that are real pearls from the ocean. I liked this book because it was filled with energy blustering out of the pages. Another thing I loved with the description the author used to describe Pippi. I would recommend this book to anybody who loves a fantasy book with a lot of adventure. -Casey
