INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Marcionette, Jake

Just Jake

(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Victor Rivas Villa. Sixth grader Jake's family relocates to Maryland, uprooting his hard-earned social status at his old school but not his self-confidence. His comic efforts to make friends and fit in are off-set by his astute observations of the people around him; the caricatures he meets are predictable yet amusing. Mixed-media illustrations and photographs are annotated by Jake. Another journal-novel for fans of the format.
