Description
Cody Harmon doesn't love reading, math, spelling, or really any of the subjects that Miss Molina teaches in her third-grade class. But he lives on a farm and he loves animals—he even has nine pets—so when the school holds a pet-show fund-raiser, it should be his time to shine. There's a ten-dollar entrance fee per pet, though, and Cody can't pay it for all nine pets. He'd love to take his pig, but what about the others? In the end, Cody figures out a way to lend out his pets so that every person in the class (and every pet) gets to participate in the show.

        April 1, 2016
        When Franklin School principal Mr. Boone announces a pet-show fundraiser, white third-grader Cody--whose lack of skill and interest in academics is matched by keen enthusiasm for and knowledge of animals--discovers his time to shine. As with other books in this series, the children and adults are believable and well-rounded. Even the dialogue is natural--no small feat for a text easily accessible to intermediate readers. Character growth occurs, organically and believably. Students occasionally, humorously, show annoyance with teachers: "He made mad squinty eyes at Mrs. Molina, which fortunately she didn't see." Readers will be kept entertained by Cody's various problems and the eventual solutions. His problems include needing to raise $10 to enter one of his nine pets in the show (he really wants to enter all of them), his troublesome dog Angus--"a dog who ate homework--actually, who ate everything and then threw up afterward"--struggles with homework, and grappling with his best friend's apparently uncaring behavior toward a squirrel. Serious values and issues are explored with a light touch. The cheery pencil illustrations show the school's racially diverse population as well as the memorable image of Mr. Boone wearing an elephant costume. A minor oddity: why does a child so immersed in animal facts call his male chicken a rooster but his female chickens chickens? Another winner from Mills, equally well suited to reading aloud and independent reading. (Fiction. 7-10)

        Gr 1-4-A new addition to the series, this installment centers on Cody, a third-grade lover of pets and animals. Cody, who lives on a farm with his mom, dad, and nine-month-old twin sisters, struggles with schoolwork. He is writing a report on pigs-he has an adored pet pig named Mr. Piggins-but would much rather play than do homework. As in the other titles, the principal, Mr. Boone, interrupts the class, this time announcing a pet contest to raise money for the Humane Society. Cody wants to bring all nine of his pets (including Mr. Piggins, a rooster, and three chickens) but doesn't have the $10 entry fee for each pet to participate. Dad offers to pay him extra allowance if he works harder on rewriting his pig report, but that won't be quite enough to cover the full cost. Classmate Tobit wants to borrow Rex, Cody's golden retriever, but after observing Tobit being mean to another animal, Cody is not convinced his friend is sensitive enough to care for the dog. Mr. Boone helps the boys resolve their differences, and all ends well. There is good character development, as well as lots of plot to keep newly independent readers engaged. VERDICT Another good entry in this realistic fiction series perfect for young readers who have exhausted all of the "Clementine" (Hyperion) and "Ivy and Bean" (Chronicle) books.-Susan Lissim, Dwight School, New York City

        This fifth entry in the series focuses on third grader Cody, who loves animals as passionately as he hates school. Cody's troubles--with homework, with best friend Tobit, and with a scheme to get all his animals into the school's first-ever pet show--are presented sympathetically by Mills, who portrays elementary-school friendship drama with a skillful hand. The lighthearted illustrations help readers envision the story.

        This fifth entry in the chapter book series (beginning with Kelsey Green, Reading Queen, rev. 5/13) focuses on third-grader Cody, who loves animals as passionately as he hates school. When Principal Boone announces Franklin School's first-ever pet show, Cody seems like a shoo-in to finally win some kind of an award. He does own nine pets, after all. Unfortunately, the entrance fee is ten dollars per pet, and he has just three dollars -- not enough to enter even one of his beloved animals. Luckily, his dad offers him a deal: seven dollars in exchange for doing a good job on his homework for a week. Now Cody's only problem (besides having to do his dreaded homework) is which pet to take to the show: one of his two dogs, one of his two cats, one of his three chickens, his rooster, or his pig. Cody's troubles -- with homework, with best friend Tobit, and with a scheme to get all his animals into the show by loaning them out -- are presented sympathetically by seasoned author Mills, who portrays elementary-school friendship drama with a skillful hand. As usual, Shepperson's lighthearted illustrations help young readers envision the story, one that will please both newcomers to and longtime fans of this accessible and satisfying series. jennifer m. brabander The July/August 2016 p 139 Scourge by Jennifer A. Nielsen Middle School Scholastic 357 pp. 9/16 978-0-545-68245-9 $16.99 g e-book ed. 978-0-545-68246-6 $16.99 Ani and her best friend, Weevil, are the first River People (the most despised residents of the country of Keldan) to be captured by the government's wardens and taken in for testing. Those who test positive for the Scourge, a deadly plague, are sent to a prison colony on a remote island, where they will shortly die. But these intrepid youngsters have enough wits and pluck to unravel the corrupt machinations of the governor, uncover the origins of the mysterious disease, and unite the kingdom, all while overcoming the prejudice against River People. Nielsen's (The False Prince, rev. 3/12, and sequels) fans will recognize the recipe of her previous fantasies: a strong, feisty main character who narrates a story that is equal parts adventure, mystery, and political intrigue, with just a pinch of nascent romance thrown in for good measure. This book is a standalone, which may increase its already broad appeal to young readers. jonathan hunt
