Title: Crown Me! Author: Kathryn Lay Publisher: Holiday House ISBN: 0-8234-1845-6 Genre: Juvenile/Fiction
Fifth-grader Justin Davies dreams of becoming the President of the United States someday. But right now, he’ll have to settle for running for class president. He has no idea that one little class project will change his life . . . forever.
Justin, and one of his worst enemies, Andrea Carey, are appointed to be the king and queen of the Payton fifth-grade class for two weeks. However, Justin, Andrea, and the rest of the fifth grade, are about to learn that royalty can be a royal pain in the neck.
Justin also has to choose a knight to protect him. The problem is, he has TWO best friends. In his nervous state, he accidentally calls Willie Fisher, nicknamed “whiney Willie,” to be his knight. His buddies are furious.
To make matters worse, the school bully, Badger, wants to grind Justin into a hamburger. And Andrea is running for class president. Can Justin’s life get any worse?
This book is a modern medieval adventure with a touch of humor, a dab of misadventure, and a cherry on top. I liked watching Justin get himself into predicament after predicament. I would definitelyy recommend this book to anyone 9 and above. Great job Mrs. Lay! |
