The book Trouble-maker was written by Andrew Clements. I would definitely recommend this book to kids in grades 4-6.  If you like excitement and character changes, then this is the book for you! Well, first there was Clay.  He was exactly like his older brother Mitch, who was a “trouble-maker”.  Clay had bad friends, bad grades, and a bad attitude!  He was always getting into trouble with the principle Mr. Kelling.  But, Mitch changed after he went to jail, and doesn't want Clay’s fate to be like his.  Mitch wants Clay to change from bad to good. Will Clay listen to his brother, or end up getting into trouble for the rest of his life?

The Fabled Fifth Graders of Aesop Elementary School by Candace Fleming

The Fabled Fifth Graders of Aesop Elementary School is written by Candace Fleming.  In this fictional story, Mr. Jupiter’s class is very enthusiastic when in school.  It is their last year in Aesop elementary.  They’re at the top of the school but their behavior isn’t that perfect when in their class specials. They always act up and never listen to the teacher.  They get wild in music, they fool around at lunch, and they get a very creepy substitute. The author’s message is to get the reader to learn about the behavior in Mr. Jupiter’s class. When I was in fifth grade, my class was always fooling around and talking.  I would recommend The Fabled Fifth Graders of Aesop Elementary School because it hooked me right away. This is one of the Rhode Island Children Book Award Nominees for 2012.  It is funny and exciting.  I would recommend this book to kids in grades 4 through 6.
