Kelsey Green is the best reader in the third grade--well, maybe tied for best with know-it-all Simon Ellis. When the principal Mr. Boone announces a school-wide reading contest, complete with a pizza party for the winning class and a special certificate for the top readers in each grade, she knows she's just the person to lead Mrs. Molina's third graders to victory. But how can they win when her classmate Cody Harmon doesn't want to read anything, and even Kelsey's best friends Annika and Izzy don't live up to her expectations? And could Simon possibly be reading all of those books that he claims he is, or is he lying to steal Kelsey's rightful spot at the top?Kelsey Green, Reading Queen is the first book in Claudia Mills's Franklin School Friends series.

Another great book from Claudia Mills. Kelsey is a girl in 3rd grade who loves to read. There is a contest at her school to reward the kid who reads the most books in a month. It takes you into Kelsey's world view in which reading is a joy, and each book is a treasure to cherish. The author references the names of many great books for kids this age, which could be a great reading list. Kelsey learns quite a lot in the story about herself and how to treat others who may not be as skilled at reading as she is. A very enjoyable book for kids in elementary school years.
A cute read about a young girl who loves to read and wants to win a reading contest. Kelsey reminds me a lot of myself at her age, spending most of her free time reading. But she also had two good friends, Annika and Izzy. But neither of Kelsey's friends love reading the way she does. In fact they have other interests, Annika loves math and Izzy loves running. Kelsey is determined to win the reading contest by helping her classmates read more and by determining if her main rival Simon is cheating or not.Kelsey presents as a likable, cute girl with a strong competitive streak. She works hard to read books that qualify for the contest but don't really challenge her. She recruits her friends to help her determine if Simon really is reading all the books he says he is and they come up with a plan to find out. The story feels realistic with a teacher that's very focused on her job and a jolly principal who has volunteered to shave his beard if the school meets its reading goal.The book mentions a lot of really great books that would be great for children to check out and the emphasis on the delights of reading is a great theme.This series is likely to appeal to readers who like Judy Moody, Clementine, and Ivy & Bean. Personally, I found it a bit irritating that Kelsey assumed Simon was cheating because he was beating her in the contest. Also, the principal's bouncing into the classroom during prime teaching time also bugged me, probably since I'm a teacher myself and teachers need every minute they can get without interruption. However, it's very possible that there are principals out there like that. Neither of these things are likely to bother a child reader.
Kelsey Green, Reading Queen by Claudia MillsSummary: Kelsey is a third grader who loves to read. When her school’s reading incentive begins, she’s sure her class will win, and she will be the top reader in the school. She believes her classmate, Simon, another great reader, won’t quite be able to keep up. When Simon suddenly pulls ahead, Kelsey is sure he must be cheating, and enlists her two best friends, famous in their own right for math prowess and fast running, to use their skills to catch him. Ultimately, she learns that Simon is not a cheater and actually, unbelievably, loves reading as much as she does.Pros: This would be a good choice for a fan of Junie B. Jones who is ready for something a little more challenging. Look for the two sequels about Kelsey’s friends: Annika Riz, Math Whiz and Izzy Barr, Running Star.Cons: The plot, while engaging, is pretty run-of-the-mill.
What a wonderful book! I like how each friend has a strength to help them figure out if Simon is cheating. I love the way Kelsey loves to read through every other activity. The reading contest reminded me of when my daughters used to do the library reading program during the summers. They would want to read more then their friends and get all the prizes the library had for each mile stone. Anything that encourages children to read is wonderful in my world! I also liked that one child ( Cody ) struggled with reading and Kelsey helped him out. I am looking forward to Annika Riz, Math Whiz and Izzy Barr, Running Star! Keep writing.
I loved this book! If you are up for a good book read this one! It took me about 1 day to read it and that day was definitely worth it! This book definitely put a smile on my face!
Jeez! This is the best book ever! I love Kelsey Green and Simon Ellis! One of this year's Horned Toad Tales at Sampson Elementary! :)
This is a good book, better than Annika Riz, Math Whiz. It isn't as predictable and it is more interesting than the other book.
