How Oliver Olson Changed the World

(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Heather Maione. Oliver's overprotective parents insist on doing everything for him. As for letting him attend the third-grade sleepover? Fuggedaboudit. Drawn into opinionated classmate Crystal's orbit while working together on a solar system diorama, Oliver begins to assert himself. Mills's previous books for this age group have been stellar, and this one's no exception. Full-page pencil illustrations, one per chapter, add warmth and humor.
