Review
Praise for Lola Levine Is Not Mean!:
* "Brown introduces a smart, young protagonist with a multicultural background in this series opener for chapter-book readers. Celebrate a truly accepting multicultural character."―Kirkus Reviews, starred review
"If you've never had a best friend, Lola Levine will undoubtably become your first. Her appeal is boundless."―Rita Williams-Garcia, Coretta Scott King Author Award winner for One Crazy Summer
"Lola Levine is a joy, and even though she stops goals at soccer games, she could never stop readers from smiling as they eagerly wait for her next adventure."―Diana López, author of Confetti Girl andAsk My Mood Ring How I Feel
"Readers will cheer as Lola balances her troubles at school with the same smart skills that she uses to dominate the soccer field. A lovely bicultural character--and her richly drawn group of peers--promises a cherished new series."―Meg Medina, Pura Belpré winner for Yaqui Delgado Wants to Kick Your Ass
"This first entry in a smartly crafted new series introduces Lola, best friend Josh Blot, and her family. The appealing protagonist is energetic and enthusiastic [and] with as much about family and friends as about sports, this chapter book should have broad appeal."―Booklist
"Beginning chapter book readers will enjoy Lola's spunk and humor. A good choice for chapter book collections."―School Library Journal
"Lola's personality shines through here, with a vibrant first-person narration that matches her energetic spirit."
―The Bulletin

―School Library Connection

- Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2020This was our first Lola Levine book. I bought this for my six year old who is a very strong reader, she reads at a third grade level at least. It was not a difficult book to read, the story was cute, and we look forward to buy more books from this series. My six-year-old definitely enjoyed it.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2017Great book in this series. My daughter loves Lola and her family, she feels identified with her as a bilingual child with parents that encourage her to do what she feels, not trying to fit into a determine role. As with the other Lola's books, her family finds a way to support her through the sad episodes of an 8 year old kid. Even though we finished reading all the books, my daughter loves to re-read them!
- Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2021My 6 year old daughter read the whole series in a month. Great books!!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2021Realistic and entertaining story of elementary level children and their families.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2019Daughter loves reading these.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2017Finishing up the whole series sent to our granddaughters
- Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2018This realistic fiction chapter book is the definition of a bicultural family that loves to spend time with each other and solve everyday problems! Lola Levine has a younger brother named Ben. She is your typical older sister who is always looking out for her brother. Lola and Ben are adopting a kitten! But before they can get a cat, they have to do some research on what a cat needs and even start building a cat play structure, or as the family calls it “a cat castle”. Once their new cat, Jelly, is home, Ben and Lola discover that Ben is allergic to cats! The ending of this realistic and humorous book is a true reflection of how a family solves a problem and works together for one goal. An amazing series to add to your diverse classroom library!
Monica Brown created an excellent bicultural character when she started the Lola Levine series. The sibling relationship between Lola and Ben is so apparent and loving, as well as the other relationships within the family. Lola Levine is a great role model for all as she navigates her childhood throughout this great series!
- Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2019Received this book in poor condition. Cover page is torn in a couple places! What do I need to do to get a replacement?

5.0 out of 5 stars Lola Levine meets Jelly and Bean Review.
It was nice that Lola Levine got a cat but it was a bit sad. But then her super best friend (Josh) said he could adopt the cat (Jelly) and then they found a puppy and named it Bean. It is such a lovely book and I would recommend it!
