Fabulous Chapter Book

This story is a gem not to be missed. Kids will relate to the timeless theme of adapting to a new environment, and they'll cheer for Sam as he learns that "different" can still be "great." Wonderful chapter book for kids in 2nd or 3rd grade. Brooklyn, Bugsy, and Me has more heart than the typical series chapter book produced for this age group. Kudos to Lynea Bowdish!
