Realistic fiction, multicultural, friendship, bullies, school stories.
"Ravi has just moved to the United States from India and has always been at the top of his class; Joe has lived in the same town his whole life and has learning problems--but when their lives intersect in the first week of fifth grade they are brought together by a common enemy (the biggest bully in their class) and the need to take control of their lives." (publisher)
Engaging light read with a lot to think about. Highly recommend as realistic fiction through 6th grade.
Hello! I am a middle-high school librarian in New York. These book entries serve as a reading diary and an easy reference for teachers and students. They are not necessarily new titles, but ones I see my students reading, support the curriculum, or others that merely catch my attention. Please check out the sidebar for more lists. Book summaries are given credit. Comments in the entries are my own. Eleanor Funk Schuster
