Mini Grey on Traction Man and the Beach Odyssey

by Christine M. Heppermann
Jul 11, 2012 | Filed in Book Reviews
Beach-Time Brenda's next adventure?


In the May/June 2012 issue of The Horn Book Magazine, reviewer Christine Hepperman asks Traction Man and the Beach Odyssey author/illustrator Mini Grey about a new favorite character. Read the full review of Traction Man and the Beach Odyssey here.

Christine M. Hepperman: Will Beach-Time Brenda reappear in future books, maybe headline a series of her own?

Mini Grey: Oooh — there’s an idea. Poor Brenda might have to wrestle with some undignified situations in the ordinary world, but perhaps save the day through the power of cocktail snacks, canapés, and optimism. I can see her battling household appliances and all sorts of other horrors and having to get very very dirty. But she’d need a sidekick — or could she share Scrubbing Brush?
