Mills, Claudia. Kelsey Green, Reading Queen. New York: Farrar Straus Giroux Books, 2013. 122p. This is the first book in the Franklin School Friends series. The main focus of this book is Kelsey who can read a page a minute. Her reading abilities are put to a test when the principal announces a school-wide reading contest. Can Kelsey get the whole class to victory even when her friends don't live up to her expectations? And is Simon, who is just as good of a reader, actually be reading all the books he claims?
This can be used as a great read-aloud and can also foster conversations about competition, friendship and building a classroom community.
