My thoughts about the children's literature that I read which hopefully help my K-5 students and parents find a great book

One-third Nerd
This author wrote a Newbery-honor winning book called Al Capone Does My Shirts. I had hope for this. Unfortunately, it did nothing for me. The plot revolves around three kids who are trying to save money to help their family. Their dog keeps peeing all over the house and the landlord is making them get rid of the dog if they can't fix it. Dakota is a total nerd, and proud of it, and she thinks her problem-solving mind can figure this out. I found this uneventful, quite boring, and very forgettable. It is on the Great Stone Face list this year. (FIC CHO)
