Andrew Clements has written more than 50 books for children and many of those books are excellent pieces of realistic fiction. Remember I told you I was reading Things Not Seen? Well I just finished it! It was really terrific; I could not put it down. It is the first Clements book I read that combined fantasy and realism. I really like it and recommend it for independent reading or a great book to read at home with a parent.
Keep reading fourth graders. See you Monday, Mrs. Jenkins
