My name is Primrose Squarp. I am eleven years old. I have hair the color of carrots in apricot glaze (recipe to follow), skin fair and clear where it isn't freckled, and eyes like summer storms.
Readers will know right from the start that the narrator of Everything on a Waffle is going to tell her story straight and pull no punches. Primrose's parents have been lost at sea, but she believes without an iota of doubt that they are still alive, somewhere. She moves in with her Uncle Jack, but feels generally friendless. Her only real refuge is a local restaurant called The Girl on the Red Swing, where the owner, Miss Bowzer, serves everything on waffles -- except advice and good sense, which come free of charge and are always reliable.
Food in general plays an important role in Primrose's journey toward peace and understanding (a recipe dictated in her unmistakable voice is appended to each chapter), and readers will eagerly cheer her on through this funny, bittersweet novel.

In the book there is really cool recipes
I read this book because I needed to read a new berry book for Mrs. Delpozzo. I also decided to read it because my AWESOME teacher,Mrs. Blair, recomended. It to me and said it was a book that I would like. So far, I am not far in the book but I like it. Basically, It is about a girl named Primrose who knows her parents did NOT die at sea, but it is very hard to convince people of that. Know,she has to go live with her Uncle Jack who quit his job in the Navy and sold his house to buy them a nice home. Primrose never stops thinking about her parents even as she is welcomed in to Uncle Jack's arms. I am not done reading it yet, I started it today, but I definitely recommend it to those of you who like a good but not long fiction story. Happy reading everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is probably in my top 10 favorite books list. This book is that incredible (and I have pretty high standards). I wouldn't just recommend this book, I would like triple recommend it!!!!!!!!!!!! So AMAZING TO THE MOON AND BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I liked this book a lot and it didn't take long to read it at all but sometimes it got a little creepy.
