nationally bestselling author Kevin Henkes introduces second-grader
Billy Miller in this fast-paced and funny story about friendship,
sibling rivalry, and elementary school. The Year of Billy Miller
includes black-and-white art by Kevin Henkes and is perfect for
fans of the Ramona books; Frindle, by Andrew Clements; and the
Clementine series.The New York Times declared: -Henkes's delightful
story is restrained and vivid . . . forgoing the overdramatic or
zany, it shows the substance, warmth and adaptability of
beautifully common family love.- When Billy Miller has a mishap at
the statue of the Jolly Green Giant at the end of summer vacation,
he ends up with a big lump on his head. What a way to start second
grade, with a lump on your head! As the year goes by, though, Billy
figures out how to navigate elementary school, how to appreciate
his little sister, and how to be a more grown up and responsible
member of the family and a help to his busy working mom and
stay-at-home dad. Newbery Honor author and Caldecott Medalist Kevin
Henkes delivers a short, satisfying, laugh-out-loud-funny school
and family story that features a diorama homework assignment, a
school poetry slam, cancelled sleepovers, and epic sibling temper
tantrums. This is a perfect short novel for the early elementary
grades.
