Product Description
From School Library Journal
Grade 2-4-- Jenny Archer is back, and this time she plans on being a real live heroine. There's only one problem: she doesn't know how to handle emergencies. With the help of her parents, she learns about safety and rescue treatment and, armed with a first-aid kit, she is ready for anything. When her two-year-old cousin visits, Jenny invents a game called "Accident," and practices her bandaging techniques with disastrous results. Ten short chapters advance the plot and are supplemented by black-and-white drawings. Jenny's actions are realistic and positive as she learns valuable information on first aid and emergency treatment. Readers will identify with the need to be recognized for something they can do and will enjoy her attempts to become someone out of the ordinary. Although not as fast paced as previous books in this transitional series, Conford blends first aid with fun, offering a story that children can read on their own. --Jana R.

Jenny Archer (Not) to the Rescue, April 10 2008
By Sarah Sammis "Avid BookCrosser" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Jenny Archer to the Rescue (Paperback)
In Jenny Archer to the Rescue Jenny learns about some children her age who have become heroes through their quick thinking and she wants to be a hero too. She decides the best way to be a hero is to learn everything she can about first aid.Learning first aid is something everyone should do and Jenny Archer is just the right age to start. I took my first Red Cross first aid classes with my Girl Scout troop at about that age. While the book emphasizes the importance of certain first aid skills, it doesn't give Jenny the opportunity to put her skills to use.
In fact the book is unfortunately weighted too heavily on cheap laughs at Jenny's expense. All of her attempts to be helpful come off as either too pushy or too eager to see an emergency where there isn't one.
