Happy Wednesday TMS Readers! I hope that you're settling in nicely to your new method of instruction. For me, each day seems to be presenting fewer challenges. Waiting on Wednesday features a new book coming in 2021 by one of my favorite authors. Back in 2011, Tommy Greenwald made his MG debut with a hilarious book called, Charlie Joe Jackeson's Guide to Not Reading. it was the story of Charlie Joe and how he actually made it to sixth grade without ever finishing a book. But, in sixth grade, his strategies are failing him. This illustrated novel features a charming slacker, short chapters and a fast pace. It was followed by four or so more books in the series.
Rivals releases on March 23, 2021 and here's the publisher synopsis: "From the author of the award-winning Game Changer comes a new novel about two student-athletes searching for stardom, a young reporter searching for the truth, and a crosstown basketball rivalry that goes too far."
While you're waiting for Rivals to release, you can read the Charlie Joe Jackson series and Game Changer, a story told in texts, news articles and bedside conversations about a young football player who is in a coma.
