I've seen many not open up to more classic reading until high school. Promising if not still frustrating for those of us on the receiving end of student requests in the earlier years. Anyway, love the sound of these two new books and will seek them out.

I have similar ones on a regular basis, though not always around Wimpy Kid, but often it is. Any question that starts with "Do you have a book just like....(fill in the blank with any popular current book)?" drives me up a wall, around the bend and over the hill. Mostly, they just want to read a good book, but don't know how to ask, though your student sounds particularly specific about his needs. Good luck! I wish I had that magic book, and then ten more just like it.

I do know people with guns but most of the people I know don't have them -- there's no way I'd allow one in my house. I do know a fair amount of hunters and it's important here -- our deer population is exploding and we need hunters to keep it under control. While my daddy's legal name was Jimmy Lee and my mother's was Betty Jean, that's about as Southern as names get (although I do enjoy the names some authors use).Paige Y.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09823929357425078374noreply@blogger.com
