Penelope Lemon is back for more madcap mom adventures in Inman Majors's hilariously unruly Operation Dimwit.

It's summertime, and son Theo is away at camp. Feeling frisky, free, and tired of living vicariously through nighttime trysts with erotic novels, Penelope can begin phase two of her postdivorce life. First on the agenda is a date with the mysterious Fitzwilliam Darcy, who lives in a mansion with his snobbish cat, Algernon, and who spends his spare time painting massive nude portraits.

Meanwhile, back at the trailer--park office, Penelope's boss, Missy, has become obsessed with getting rid of Dimwit, the backwoods interloper who may be stealing personal items from female residents. A sting operation to catch him in the act is planned, something so kooky and ill--advised that only a legendary goofball such as Missy could set it into motion.

Throw in a bully trainer at Penelope's new gym, plus an infestation of skunks that requires the services of a wildlife expert and homespun mystic known as the Critter Catcher, and it becomes clear that Penelope's two weeks off from parenting won't be as relaxing and incident--free as she hoped.

Building on the comedic hijinks of Penelope Lemon: Game On , Operation Dimwit is a warmhearted look at the challenges of being a single working mom trying to stay afloat in the middle class after a divorce. Zany, stylish, and uproariously funny, this southern comedy will have readers laughing out loud at familiar absurdities of life in the twenty--first--century USA.--Kirkus Reviews

Great purchase! Will Buy Again.
Color: A01-Colorful Pink
Best purchase for my childs tablet. They are able to carry it like a cross-body with the strap or hold it with the handle. The handle is able to rotate in different directions to set up hands free on a table either longer way (landscape) or short (portrait). It has a hard case then the thicker silicone surrounding it. It does a great job protecting the tablet. My little one has dropped it plenty of times and it's still in great condition.

So far, indestructible.
Color: Coral Orange
Such a good case! For a 6 year old that isn’t exactly gentle with devices, it’s perfect. The swivel kick stand is pretty versatile, easy to find a comfortable angle to see the screen no matter which weird position your kid sits in. The color is really nice, the orange is soft and very pretty.

Sturdy just wish it could be adjusted to hang shorter
Color: A01-Colorful Pink
Very sturdy. Love the colors, easy for my 4 yr old to handle and use. Wish the length could be adjusted shorter for her though. When wearing, it tends to hang low by her knees.

Very reliable, even after 1 year!
Color: A01-Colorful Pink
I purchased this over a year ago. It has since been dropped, stood on and thrown (all by toddlers) and no visible damage whatsoever! I love the kickstand that also double has a way to hold while moving. It's a bit complicated to initially put together, just because of all the placement of the silicone around the plastic box, but once every bit is in the right place you're golden. I also appreciate the port cover to add an even higher durability rating from me. My toddlers find this very easy to use and I love how versatile it all is. Definitely worth the money to keep the iPads running and protected.
