Emma Is on the Air: Big News!

119 pp. | Scholastic | May, 2015 | Trade ISBN 978-0-545-68692-1 $16.99
(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Karla Peña. Eight-year-old Emma Perez wants to be a TV reporter. Bursting with confidence, tenacity, and boundless energy, and mentored by her newspaper journalist father, she lands her first big story when a classmate finds a worm in his lunch. Emma's character is borderline twee, but her half-Dominican heritage and bilingualism are seamlessly integrated into the text. Frequent illustrations enhance the chapters.
