My Elementary School Young Author Books

this post is in honor of Sadie, a very hip gal

1. 1st grade- Pizza Day- about a boy named Jerry who wakes up to find his bedroom is made completely of pizza. He had to eat himself out. "First he ate the cheese, then he ate the meat."
2. Can't remember my 2nd grade book & my mom couldn't find it in my hope chest.

3. 3rd Grade- Pocket Full of Poems- a collection of whimsical poetry that won me some district awards

4. 4th Grade- Home Again, Maybe- a gripping tale of two young girls who were nurses during the Revolutionary War. I was DEVASTATED this one didn't win. I put my heart and soul into that book. Stupid Warren beat me with a nonfiction book about bees. Whatever.
5. 5th Grade- Missing in the Meadow- a total Last Unicorn rip-off. I didn't care. I was still mad about getting robbed in 4th grade.

6. 6th grade-Kara Deaning Private Eye- a young girl who lives a double life as a detective busts a cocaine ring. I wanted it to be in-your-face and real, but I think it was racially inappropriate
