Penelope Crumb Is Mad at the Moon

(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Valeria Docampo. Fourth grader Penelope Crumb juggles the complexities of co-ed gym-class square dancing and cruel social dynamics in this book. Partnered with sweaty Hugo Gordon (a fifth grader!) and dubbed "Wartgirl" after a failed attempt to get out of gym, Penelope's take on her troubles makes enjoyable reading. Though a number of side plots are left dangling, this is a satisfying fourth installment.
