The Monkey Mountain series Red Deer Press The concerns of the very different kids in Room Nine overlap even more than they realize as each book in the series looks at their lives through the eyes of a different character. Sometimes joyous, sometimes moving, these novels of school, friendship and family are filled with humour tempered by real life. Strong as stand-alones, the stories take on added depth when read in sequence. CCBC Our Choice selections.
The Morgan series Formac Publishing Morgan eats too much, talks too much - and likes too much. Whether fibbing to make friends, struggling to keep a secret, floundering on the soccer field, or losing his shorts over swimming lessons Morgan keeps on trying. And, because - or maybe in spite of - his best efforts, what might almost be a friendship evolves under the smudgy glare of his nemesis, Aldeen Hummel, the Godzilla of Grade Three. Fast-paced, funny stories for readers just beginning chapter books. CCBC Our Choice selections.
