RATING:Thumbs Up!
REVIEW:
This is a good book but is definitely not one of my favorites. Calvin Coconut is your typical kid that always seems to run into trouble and has difficulty stepping up to the plate of being responsible at home. He's a fun loving and mischievous kid! The story takes place in Hawaii and Calvin is in a single parent family because his crazy father up and left him at a young age to be a singer in Las Vegas. Calvin has a lot of problems to deal with. His mother tells him Stella , a girl from Texas, was going to move in and help take care of him. He doesn't like the idea of her moving in on his turf and they don't really get along at first but Stella helps him with the bully situation. All in all, it's a book that I think my younger boys would like to read. It's also a good pick because it's a chapter book that reads quickly. My students are always looking for AR chapter books that are fun to read! :)
