How to Survive a Totally Boring Summer

(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Cynthia Fisher. Randall (The Hero of Third Grade) is facing his first summer in Rushport, and there's nothing to do. He and his friend Max decide to start a chess club in the park, despite crabby old "Birdman's" interference. A missing parrot subplot muddles the story, and the book never quite takes flight. Black-and-white illustrations are well placed but static. Bib.
