Illustrated by
Middy Thomas.
February break is on everyone's mind in Gooney Bird Greene's class, and conversation constantly turns to three students' vacation destinations. In this fifth book in the series, Lowry deals with the ticklish classroom issue of students gloating about vacations. She handles it well, helping readers to reflect on the competitive chatter that often strains the fabric of a class right before holidays.
