Almost Starring Skinnybones (Skinnybones Series)

These books are wonderful. I am tutoring a sixth grader who is not motivated to read. I was desperate for a really good book to hook him. I remembered Barbara Park's books for younger kids and hoped that she had written something for older kids. She did!! These books are so funny and so appropriate for preteens. The main character Alex, has all of the thoughts and insecurities of a real boy, and he gets himself into these amusing situations. My student and I take turns reading passages from the book. We both sit there laughing at his attempts to disentangle himself from the messes he creates. The language in the book is realistic. The kids are real. I was saved. And although my [...] has not become a perfect student, he loves the books and I have a wonderful tool for instruction.

It's a good book

Her books are so fun, from Junie B Jones to these. She is missed by all the kids in our country. My grandaughter has read the Junie ones more than 100 times. It looks like my grandson is going to do the same with the Skinny Bones series.

makes you LOL. even parents. Great read aloud too.

My students loved Almost Starring Skinnybones! It is just as funny as the first book, Skinnybones! It is so refreshing to watch my class laugh out loud as they read this book.

My son just started reading this, great addition to his collection.

Great product! Excellent condition!

This was a book chosen by son's second grade class as a book to read for homework. I purchased the e-book because my son would always leave his hardcopy at school. We both found the book entertaining and enjoyable to read.

My son loved both Skinny Bones books.
