I’m sure that Roxie and the Hooligans by Newbery Medal winner, Phyllis Reynolds Naylor, will be a favorite in our second grade this year. The unlikely hero of the story, Roxie Warbler, has read and memorized her famous uncle’s book about survival techniques, and she puts those survival tips to use when she’s stranded on a desert island with two dangerous criminals and a gang of bullies. In the midst of all of her ENORMOUS troubles, Roxie realizes how lucky and how strong she really is. I loved this book!
