This is the first in a new series by Springboard Books and we rather enjoyed it. A Job for Jenny Archer introduces us to Jenny and her best friend Wilson, as we start out, Jenny is confessing that her mother's birthday is 3 weeks away and she's only got .27 to her name...and she REALLY wants to get her mom a nice gift. In fact, Jenny wants to get her mom a fur coat...and she's just got to figure out a way to get one for her! How? Well, Jenny sets out to get herself a job to earn the money! She tires out a series of "jobs" (pet trainer & babysitter) none of which actually work out and her little adventure with making the money ends in a hilarious attempt to get it by selling their house! She's sympathetic because she wants to get a super gift for her mom on her own and funny because she can't seem to get it right. It's a pleasure to travel with her through this little adventure and provides a good "message" to young self-readers without being too in your face with it.
A Job for Jenny Archer introduces us to a rather interesting new set of characters that should prove to be quite enjoyable. These are easy to read chapter books, ideal for readers transitioning from story books to all word chapter books, they even have simple (but extremely well done) line drawings, to help bring the story to life! I give it a B+ and would recommend it to new self-readers!

Jenny's mom is having a birthday and Jenny wants to give her something really nice--like a fur coat. There is a small problem--she only has twenty-seven cents. Even if her friend, Wilson, lends her his life savings of three dollars and change, she still won't have enough. What to do? Get a job.
When Jenny's first venture, as a dog trainer, falls through, she decides she can baby sit and make enough money. Babysitting for money is harder than just playing with her baby cousin, though. And, it might just cost her a pet goldfish.
This is a cute story about a little girl misunderstanding statements about her family's finances and her creative ways of making money. Children, ages five to eight, will enjoy Jenny and her friend.
Armchair Interviews says: The charm and humor of this book will have readers looking for others in the Jenny Archer adventures series.
 THIS IS A FANTASTIC BOOK!!!! September 1, 1999
