This book is kind of like a sequel to the book Pippi Longstocking. It is about a young girl around the age of ten whose father is stranded on a cannibal island and whose mother dies when she is very young. Pippi meets two children around her age called Annika and Tommy. Pippi, Annika, and Tommy have great adventures at the school picnic (even though she doesn't go to school) and the fair. The greatest adventure is when the three of them all go shopping and Pippi pays for everything. She is loaded with money and it is left for her to enjoy. Pippi tries out a lot of new things in this book like trying to see if school is fun and trying to get shipwrecked and then saving herself.

This is a fantastic book if you like fast, easy, adventurous, sad, joyful, funny, all in one. Pippi will show you how to have a great time doing nothing and how you don't have to have a good education to be able to have fun and how to have fun anywhere, anytime, with anyone. I would give this book a 9 1/2 because it made me laugh. If you can't think of something to do, this book gives you ideas on what to do with your day, rain or shine. Please read Pippi Longstocking

before you read this book or you won't get it as much.

Pippi wants to show them what it is like to be shipwrecked, so she gets her old row boat ready. Tommy and Annika’s parents are away, and they are staying with a babysitter. That is the day that they leave. While they are on the water, they meet up with Pippi’s long lost father. Will Pippi have to leave Villa Villekulla? What will she do?
