More Books

Last week, I read:

Utterly Me, Clarice Brown- an older Junie B. Jones type character, but doesn't get in quite as much trouble as Junie B.

Lawn Boy- not your typical Gary Paulsen book (author of Hatchet). Quick read. About a boy who needs a new bike tire, so his grandma gives him a lawn mower to raise the money to buy a new tire. He ends up making hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The Magician's Elephant- typical Kate DiCamillo book- short, big vocabulary for a children's book, and an overall cute story involving people and animals.

Swindle- by Gordon Korman- Griffin plans a heist to take back an old Babe Ruth card after he was told it was a fake. Great read. Can't wait to read Zoo Break, which is the follow up.
