Don't Check Out This Book! by Kate Klise (160 pages)

Synopsis: Is the sweet town of Appleton ripe for scandal?

Consider the facts:

•        Appleton Elementary School has a new librarian named Rita B. Danjerous. (Say it fast.)
•        Principal Noah Memree barely remembers hiring her.
•       Ten-year-old Reid Durr is staying up way too late reading a book from Ms. Danjerous's controversial "green dot" collection.
•        The new school board president has mandated a student dress code that includes white gloves and bow ties available only at her shop.

Sound strange? Fret not. Appleton's fifth-grade sleuths are following the money, embracing the punny, and determined to the get to the funniest, most rotten core of their town's juiciest scandal. Don't miss this seedy saga!

Opinion: Kate Klise is an author that I've enjoyed reading since I was a kid. I remember devouring the Regarding Series in elementary school and making my dad drive to any SLCL branch that had the next book. I enjoy her format of telling stories, it prevents my brain from getting bored, and I enjoy her zany/punny style of humor. This book doesn't live up to any of the Regarding series books for me, but that's alright, I still had a good time reading this book.
