Gr 2–4—All of the kids in EllRay's third-grade class have something to brag about—Kevin is really tall, Corey's on the swim team, and Jared's dad has an ATV. EllRay doesn't have anything to boast about, except that his dad, a geologist, collects rocks. And that isn't very exciting—or is it? EllRay decides to "borrow" six of the crystals in his dad's office to show his classmates in his attempt to become a "rock star." Unfortunately show-and-tell turns into giving the prized crystals away, and EllRay finds himself in a tough spot when his dad realizes that they are missing. Will the child get the crystals back by his dad's deadline? The protagonist's voice is humorous, and the charming cartoon illustrations make this beginning chapter book approachable for reluctant readers.—Sarah Polace, Cuyahoga County Public Library, Parma, OH
All the boys in EllRay's third-grade class have something they can brag about. Corey's on the swim team, Kevin is super tall, Jared's dad has an ATV. But EllRay's dad is a geologist - not much to brag about. After all, rocks are boring. Then EllRay sees the crystals in his dad's office, and they are really cool looking. If EllRay just "borrows" them to show his classmates, he knows they'd be impressed. And his dad will never have to know. It's a perfect plan . . . until things go awry.
