AGNES PARKER LIVES IN GLENDALE!

Junior high is a great time to work on invisibility - or is it? Agnes Parker seems to think so. Attending Toll Middle School can have it's rather embarrassing moments, or at least normal things have become more embarrassing, and Agnes is doing her best to avoid any extra attention, especially from annoying 8th grade boys! Her plan is working very well until her best friend decides to run for class president! You'll love reading about places you see every day, and definitely relate to Agnes' school-related angst. For 5th grade and older.

DUCK FOR PRESIDENT?

This is a really laugh out loud funny book about a duck who gets tired of doing his ducky duties on the farm and decides to take over his farmer's job. He organizes an election and overthrows the farmer. After he is a farmer for a while he gets tired and realizes that it is not as easy as he thought it would be and decides to run for Governor, while being a Governor he decides again that he deserves to have a better job and decides to run for president.

I am not going to tell you what happens next, however I will tell you that the story is really funny and everyone can read and enjoy it, adults as well as children. DUCK FOR PRESIDENT by DOREEN CRONIN and the illustrations by BETSY LEWIN gets my vote as one of the funniest books that I have read in a long time.

For ages 9 to 100.
