Second Grade Standout

In her second book, second grader, Keena Ford lives with her middle-school-age brother and mother in Washington, DC. Her father lives in Maryland, and she and Brian visit him on weekends. Her class is preparing for a major field trip to the capital. Not only does she have a big mishap with her hair before the trip, it is the first of many. Keena doesn't want to be the line leader for her class, she always wants to be the last in line, the "caboose." She is usually outsmarted by Tiffany and getting to be the "caboose" becomes a real issue for Keena. This issue for Keena spills over - literally - to Representative Thomas, the house representative for her district.With insight into the emotions and thoughts of a small girl, the author has made this character into a real character. Keena's misadventures will make all readers laugh. When running for the student council, Keena's poster read, "You'll never be bored with Keena Ford. " Neither will readers.

Keena is back and funnier than ever!

This is the second book in the KEENA FORD series, and it might even be funnier than the first. Keena's voice and point of view are so dead-on second grade, and you'll be laughing out loud at her apology letter at the end of the story. Poor Keena, she tries so hard with that thesaurus! Read this book, you won't regret it!
