EllRay Jakes the Recess King!

166 pp. | Viking | May, 2015 | Trade ISBN 978-0-451-46911-3 $14.99
(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Brian Biggs. EllRay decides he needs a "spare" friend; in search of one, he creates a new recess game. It backfires, though, and another attempt at making friends ends up causing a third-grade brawl on the playground. As usual for this series, EllRay's story gently demonstrates that life isn't always simple, and readers will appreciate the likable kid's honest narration. Biggs's black-and-white illustrations capture the action and emotions.
