Jibberjack, Fibberjack by Stefanie Gamarra is a playful mystery set in the very talkative town of Rumorridge, where rumors spread faster than facts. When a mysterious “monster” scares the town and pigs start disappearing, everyone panics , everyone except Frida. Armed with her detective hat and a notebook, she starts asking questions, collecting clues, and quietly noticing what doesn’t add up.
I absolutely loved this ARC. It’s clever without being complicated, funny without being silly for the sake of it, and thoughtful in a way that respects young readers. The story never tells kids what to think — it invites them to think for themselves. Frida is a joy to follow, and the humor (yes, including the stinky parts) makes the message land effortlessly.
