The Bottom Line

From the Publisher: Cody's father is an F.B.I. agent, he's got a pet emu, and he's an ace on Rollerblades. At least, that's what Cody tells his class on the first day at his new school. Being Super Deluxe Cody is great, until someone throws a skating party. And suddenly, the game may be up!

  • A good book to read out loud

Cons

  • Older children may find this book too juvenile

Description

  • Ages 7 to 10
  • Paperback, 89 pages
  • Published by Penguin Putnam Books for Young Readers

Guide Review - Book Review: Hey, New Kid!

This is a great book for kids who have to move to a new neighborhood or are starting a new school. Through the lies that Cody tells and the consequences of those lies, this book teaches children that it's best just to be yourself.

Another book that is perfect for children grades two to four, and a great out-loud read!
