paigereitz 's review for:

Pippi Goes on Board by Astrid Lindgren
3.0
funny lighthearted relaxing slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

This is a fun romp, but not without its difficulties in the modern day. I forgot how much of the story line revolved around colonialism happening in the background (Pippi's father got washed overboard and essentially took over an island to be a "cannibal king," which is a story told in the original volume, but in this volume, the story becomes more entrenched & verified by adults in an unsettling way).
