4-6Calvin Coconut series.
Illustrated by
Jacqueline Rogers.
In this seventh book in the series, fourth-grader Calvin flies to the big island of Hawaii to go deep-sea fishing with Ledward, his mom's boyfriend. Salisbury's message about respecting wildlife is cleverly tucked within an edge-of-your-seat adventure story. The illustrated series continues to feature well-individualized characters, an uncommon and vividly described setting, and a plot both involving and humorous.
