"Buk, buk, book," Jared whispers, but loud enough for everyone to
hear. Eight-year-old EllRay Jakes is sick of getting picked on. But
every time he tries to defend himself against class bully Jared
Matthews, EllRay is the one who winds up in trouble. It's just not
fair Then his dad offers him a deal: If EllRay can stay out of
trouble for a week, they'll go to Disneyland So now EllRay has a
lot to prove - he's not a troublemaker, and he's not a chicken.
This humorous and true-to-life story kicks off the EllRay Jakes
series, which is just right for boys (and girls ) who are beginning
to read chapter books.
Things are going just swimmingly for EllRay. He's finally getting
along with most of the kids at school. He's even getting along with
his family. But then everything comes screeching to a halt when his
younger sister accidently overfeeds the classroom goldfish EllRay
was supposed to be taking care of over Spring vacation. What is
EllRay going to tell his teacher and the kids in his third-grade
class? Fortunately, most of them are sympathetic. But not bossy
Cynthia. She sees this as an opportunity to blame EllRay for her
own mess-ups. Must EllRay now walk the plank for stuff that he
didn't do?
"Young animal enthusiasts won't soon forget these unique students
or Miss Mingo's enthusiastic celebration of their diversity." --
Publishers Weekly (starred review)
If there's an elephant in the classroom -- along with an alligator,
a koala, a centipede, an octopus, and who knows what else -- it
must be Miss Mingo's class on the fi rst day of school! Miss Mingo,
a flashy flamingo, starts off the year by inviting all creatures
big and small to share something special about themselves. Did you
know that Cricket hears with his legs, Snake smells with his
tongue, and Frog enjoys eating his own skin? Visit this
multi-species classroom for a nonfi ction storybook filled with
Everyone has something to brag about in EllRay's third-grade class.
Corey's on the swim team, Kevin is super tall, Jared's dad has an
ATV (with flames ). But what about EllRay? He isn't about to gloat
about how his geologist dad collects rocks. Boring Or is it? The
crystals in his dad's office are really cool looking. And if EllRay
just "borrows" them to show his classmates, he knows they be
impressed. He'll be a rock star-literally And his dad will never
have to know. It's a fail-safe plan . . . until everything doesn't
go according to plan.
