In this story, told mostly through letters, children's book author, I. B. Grumpy, gets more than he bargained for when he rents a quiet place to write for the summer.Ghosts | Humor | Grades 4-8

i read a really good book by her in 5th grade about liars and leaks, so I'm excited to read this one :) Is the library going to get it?
ReplyDeleteNext Chapter Bookshop has ordered it for us and we should have it in a few days. Amy is first in line!! I'll put you down next.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to read it (as I'm sure many people know). It sounds funny! Is it in yet?
ReplyDeleteooo i haven't read the first of this book but i just read the second and it was wonderful :).
ReplyDeleteI just finished this book. It's a short, funny, easy read. I liked it, but it's definitely not a Newberry winner. The themes are: being wanted/loved (kind of), believing without seeing (kind of, again), and helping others/doing what's right (I forgot... but I think this is it). They're summarized in the last two sentences of the book, and not really "deep". Still, it's a funny, light read.
ReplyDeleteI love this author, but most of her books are for younger audiences. I agree with Amy that it's not very deep, but I think that it doesn't need to be, considering what age groups will probably be reading it.
