Summary: A Good Beginning Read
Comment: This book is a good read for kids who like stories on what it's like to be a kid. Julie is a kid who's not the brightest in her class and who seems, at first glance, to have few outstanding talents. She isn't good at reading and spelling, and her sister puts her down all the time for being "stupid". Julie desperately wants to find one thing to be good at. Things turn around for her when a family crisis erupts and Julie comes to realize that she is good at something: teaching. She taught her brother to dial 911 in an emergency and it saved her father's life; every day she teaches people how to play marbles at school. I give this one a 3 because although it is lively and gets the point across, everything is resolved a bit too quickly. For a realization like Julie's to have greater impact, there needs to be even more examples of her teaching skill. Still, the book is fast-paced and interesting, and kids can easily identify with Julie and the need to be good at something. Definitely a must for kids who are learning to handle chapter books!
