During my down time from trying to turn myself into a walking pharmacy this week, I’ve been volunteering at the cherubs’ school book fair. I have now spent my entire year’s income, but have a few terribly cute books to recommend to you. These are new books that I have discovered this time around the fair. So without further ado I present:
This is an adorable book about 9 year old Roxi Warbler, who is tortured at school by Helvetia’s Hooligans. But once they are stranded on an island with bank robbers, the Hooligans begin to see Roxi in a new light, thanks to her survival skills learned from her famous adventurer uncle Dangerfoot. This is a sweet little book and really quick read, sure to put a smile on your face. Written at about 2nd or 3rd grade level.
Next we have:
Here our heroine Claire must help her cousin Duke get rid of the horn he’s grown from swimming in the Mississippi, which is under a spell. This is a fast paced book with more twist and turns than the river it’s set in. I couldn’t put it down. But most importantly, the art is the most fantastical I’ve ever seen. The cover is not to be missed. (Be sure to check out a better view on amazon.) Written at about a 4th grade level.
Now go get reading, and tell my husband that everyone loves books as much as I do and it’s perfectly normal to drop $200 at the school book fair.
Please?
