Review
Here Comes Little Jenna Jafferty is as much a warning as it is the title of a children's book. Terra Kern presents young readers with an adventurous, spirited child in her short chapter book. In each chapter, Jenna engages in some type of mischief or mayhem... Jenna is able to single-handedly keep her parents on their toes, but sometimes her older sister, Janine, is happy to participate in the fun, making it only that much more disastrous for Mr. and Mrs. Jafferty. Kern quickly captures her readers' interest with Jenna and Janine's antics. Before the first chapter ended, I was laughing and shaking my head in disbelief...What makes the stories even better is that Jenna and Janine are both kind-hearted young girls. They never have the intention of causing harm to anyone, and they are always apologetic when they realize they have done wrong in their parents' eyes. Mr. and Mrs. Jafferty are the epitome of loving parents. They are never too harsh with their children and shower them with love. Both the children and the parents serve as excellent role models as a result.
I highly recommend this book to parents for their 8 to 11-year-old children. This is a great book to be read out loud because Kern incorporates a sentence or two into every chapter that is full of funny sounding rhyming words. For example, "Jenna did a lot of growing and sowing, blending and befriending, playing and straying, learning and yearning, as well as getting scraped and taped." This would be an excellent book for children who are developing their reading skills to the point that they are starting to read chapter books. Each adventure is fully described in a single chapter, making the chapter breaks excellent stopping points for young readers. The chapters are the perfect length and contain just the right amount of humor to hold a child's interest... Jenna's adventures will easily be loved by children, especially if they are already fans of Junie B. Jones. Jenna made me think of what Junie was probably like prior to her elementary school days. If you see Jenna Jafferty heading your way, just be prepared for the mayhem that is about to ensue!

About the author

Simply put, I am a woman, wife, mother of three, and Nana of eight grandchildren. I grew up and still reside in Michigan with my husband Bill. I have always been a talker and completely enjoy creating art from words. I have always found discovering new words and then using them every chance I could to be such fun.
The very first thing I ever said I wanted to be when I grew up was an author. Then one day a children's magazine my parents subscribed me to had a writing contest. I was all in and entered my story. My most embarrassing moment story won and was published in the magazine. It was one of the greatest moments of my childhood. But then, when a check for my story arrived in the mail, I knew I was hooked. Getting paid for something I loved to do and enjoyed and did just because it was fun and because I wanted to was just heavenly!
But life happened and the dream of being an author went into hibernation. That was actually a good thing because the life that got in the way of me pursuing my childhood dream led me to the man of my dreams and set me up to get to know lots of children in so many different ways. Research, one could say. (I'm giggling now!)
Ultimately I decided to follow my first passion of becoming an author and write when I became sidelined from a bum back. I couldn’t do much else being benched so I thought to myself, why not? That’s when “The Little Jenna Jafferty Series” was born.
I've been writing ever since and expanded the genres I write in.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2019Oh that childhood could still be as carefree and joyful as that written about in Little Jenna Jafferty. It is a pleasure to read a book which shows how simple life can be for children growing up in a loving family. The funny stories shared by the author about little Jenna and her family make for a perfect book for intergenerational sharing. Grandparents can relate to raising children in a simpler time and parents learn how to be more patient and loving by observing how Jenna's parents respond to her mistakes. Children will enjoy reading about someone they can relate to who is learning about the wonderful world around them as they grow and experience new adventures in their own lives. I highly recommend this charming book and look forward to more stories from this author.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2018If you enjoyed Ramona Quimby's adventures as a kid, you'll love sharing this book with your children! My kids and I giggled from cover to cover. Relatable stories mixed in with great doses of nostalgia made for a fantastic book for this generation to read. I hope there will be a second book!
- Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2020I loved the stories of Jenna and her sister. Cute and entertaining for both children and adults.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2018The author and I grew up in the same small town during the 60s. Terra has written a story that could be my own childhood, although Jenna is probably far cuter! I enjoyed sharing the book with both my mom and granddaughter, and we all loved it. Watch out Ramona and Amber, Here Comes Little Jenna Jafferty!!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2018Loved it! Shared this book with a Teacher friend and she said she read it to her class and they all loved it as well. Can not wait for the next Book.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2018What a wonderfully delightful story. Little Jenna won over our hearts. Her antic and adventures had us entertained every time we picked up the book. Can't wait until we see another book by this author . Highly recommend this book for girls and boys as well.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2018I loved this book. Jenna and her sister could have been characters in the cartoon Rug Rats. A very entertaining read for adults and children.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2020In each chapter, sensitive and precocious Jenna Jafferty experiences humorous and heartwarming life lessons as she navigates through her young life surrounded by a loving family. Jenna's adventures will keep adults entertained while, I suspect, also taking them back to their own childhood memories, and children will laugh along with Jenna's antics and the predicaments she gets herself into. It was a joy to read such a wholesome book!
