Chapter Book
Summary:
In Kenny Wright's active imagination he's a world famous superhero, but in the real world he's a sixth grade 'Grandma's Boy' whose struggles to fit in at his Washington D.C. inner city school will put his grades and family loyalty to the test.
Why You'll Love It:
- Students already familiar with the Middle School and I Funny series will welcome a new Patterson book.
- Underlying the humor is a commentary on inner-city schools, a subsection of our educational system plagued by budget cuts, principal-hopping and a society that may have written them off entirely.
- Kenny is African American and his classmates include kids from a rich and realistic diversity of racial and ethnic backgrounds, adding to the overall appeal of this novel.
Who Should Read It:
Great for grades 5 and up ...and here's a book trailer.
