Kid Reads
The Adventures of Nanny Piggins by R.A. Spratt
Happy Birthday, Sophie Hartley by Stephanie Greene
Sophie Hartley is almost sure that her dad said okay when she asked for a baby gorilla for her birthday. Soon the kids at school want to know every detail about the gorilla, and dealing with her enthusiastic classmates gets harder as the big day approaches. When teenage sister Nora leaves their shared bedroom for her own space in the attic and close friend Jenna shows signs of becoming a shrieker, Sophie finds it hard to remain optimistic. Funny and believable, the story of a big birthday will please old and new Sophie fans.
Lunch Lady and the League of Librarians by Jarrett J. Krosoczka
Serving justice . . . and lunch! Lunch Lady can sniff out something rotten like no one else—and there’s definitely something rotten going on in the library. The usually friendly librarians have become cold and secretive. Even Dee can’t seem to crack a smile out of them. What darkness may lurk in the hearts of librarians? Lunch Lady is on the case! And Hector, Terrence, and Dee are along for a wild ride!
Mallory Goes Green! by Laurie Friedman
Mallory is back and this time she is the official member of the Fern Falls Elementary Environmental Committee. Mallory is so excited to go green that she alienates her friends and family by telling them what they need to do to go green, too. She must learn to listen to other people’s ideas and work together to save the environment. 2nd-4th graders who enjoy Junie B. Jones or Judy Moody are sure to love reading about Mallory McDonald.
Binky the Space Cat by Ashley Spires
Binky is a housecat with a purpose: to build a rocket ship, explore outer space, and protect his humans from alien domination. So what if outer space is the world outside his front door, or that the aliens Binky battles are actually bugs? He’s a cat with a dream and only the thought of leaving his humans behind will keep Binky from his meeting with destiny.
