Description
Summer’s in spite of everything here, and Derek Fallon is having a look forward to pelting the ustruck with water balloons, mountain climbing onto the garage roof, and conducting silly investigations. But if his parents come to a decision to send him to Learning Camp, Derek’s dreams of fun come to an end. Ever since he is been labeled a “reluctant reader,” his mom has pushed him to read “real” books-something rather then his beloved Calvin & Hobbes.
As Derek forges unexpected friendships and uncovers a circle of relatives secret involving himself (in diapers! no less), he realizes that adventures and surprises are across the corner, complete with curve balls. My Life as a Book is a 2011 Bank Street – Best Children’s Book of the Year.
