Beatrice Bottomwell has NEVER (not once!) made a mistake. She never forgets her math homework, she never wears mismatched socks, and she ALWAYS wins the yearly talent show at school. In fact, the entire town calls her The Girl Who Never Makes Mistakes! One day, the inevitable happens: Beatrice makes a huge mistake in front of everyone! But in the end, readers (and perfectionists) will realize that life is more fun when you enjoy everything―even the mistakes. 
 
We love this book for reminding students (and adults!) that taking risks and making mistakes is how we learn, how we grow, and what keeps life so interesting! Reading in itself is a vulnerable act and you have to be willing to make mistakes and take risks!
