EllRay Jakes the Dragon Slayer

(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Brian Biggs. When EllRay's little sister Alfie is bullied by a classmate, EllRay decides it's up to him to teach her how to stand up for herself. Eight-year-old EllRay's narrative voice is still too mature, but what works well in this solid fourth book are the imperfect characters (even parents) working through their faults. Changes in typeface and Biggs's black-and-white illustrations add levity.
