*After reading the first book in this new series, I knew I wanted to see what the second story had in store for the reader. I read the first book to my class and they voted unanimously to have this book be our second class read aloud.
What It Is About - FIVE Things You Need to Know:
*Rowley and Greg are back for another installment in Rowley's perspective of their friendship.
*This time Rowley is creating a fictional story on his own about Roland and his friend Garg.
*Each character in the story represent the relationship between Rowley and Greg.
*Every-time Rowley finishes a chapter, he shares the writing with Greg who always has an opinion on what should happen in the "adventure" story.
*Rowley wants to create a character that his parents would be proud of while Greg has another set of ideas.
What I Thought Of It - Five Observations/Reflections:
*I think I enjoyed the first story better, but still thought this sequel would be right up the alley for the young reader.
*I enjoyed how Kinney included lots of great life-lessons within the funny and silly story.
*Rowley is such a great boy and always wants to make his parents proud. I love that he could be a role model for readers.
*Now that I'm sharing the story with my students, I'm seeing a new side to it from their viewpoint and my fourth graders are loving it.
*Lots of adventure, great illustrations, and a plot that will definitely engage the reader.
Who Should Read It:
*As with the first book, this novel is perfect for readers in grades three and above. Readers of the Dairy of a Wimpy Kid series definitely need to check out these new stories. They are awesome and fun. Happy Reading!
