Bøker i Franklin School Friends-serien

Kelsey Green is the best reader in the third grade--well, maybe tied for best with know-it-all Simon Ellis. When the principal Mr. Boone announces a school-wide reading contest, complete with a pizza party for the winning class and a special certificate for the top readers in each grade, she knows she's just the person to lead Mrs. Molina's third graders to victory. But how can they win when her classmate Cody Harmon doesn't want to read anything, and even Kelsey's best friends Annika and Izzy don't live up to her expectations? And could Simon possibly be reading all of those books that he claims he is, or is he lying to steal Kelsey's rightful spot at the top?Kelsey Green, Reading Queen is the first book in Claudia Mills's Franklin School Friends series.

Cody Harmon doesn't love reading, math, spelling, or really any of the subjects that Miss Molina teaches in her third-grade class. But he lives on a farm and he loves animals-he even has nine pets-so when the school holds a pet-show fund-raiser, it should be his time to shine. There's a ten-dollar entrance fee per pet, though, and Cody can't pay it for all nine pets. He'd love to take his pig, but what about the others? In the end, Cody figures out a way to lend out his pets so that every person in the class (and every pet) gets to participate in the show.Claudia Mills delivers yet another winning story in the delightful Franklin School Friends chapter book series for younger readers with Cody Harmon, King of Pets.Praise for The Franklin School Friends series:"This bighearted series has something for everyone." -Kirkus Reviews"Sure to be enjoyed by fans of Clementine, Ivy and Bean, and Judy Moody." -School Library Journal "Mills delivers with a felicitous blend of breezy accessibility and perceptive understanding." -The Bulletin
