Today, I have the pleasure of being part of the book Operation Frog Effect's blog tour!
When I received the offer to be apart of the tour, I was ecstatic. Random House Kids has a special place in my heart and this book has been on my radar for ages.
It is my great pleasure to share it with you!

Pages: 313

About the Book
Ms. Graham's fifth-grade class is a very special place. Her teaching methods are not conventional, but her students are each impacted individually by her and her assignments.
Told in eight different perspectives this story follows students in the form of journal entries that Ms. Graham assigns them to write every day.
The class doesn't always get along, however, when one group assignment goes terribly wrong, they all must team together to save themselves and their beloved teacher.
Verdict
This book is a must for school and public libraries alike. Readers who enjoy books like Ms. Bixby's Last Day by John David Anderson, Wonder by R.J. Palacio, and A Whole New Ballgame by Phil Bildner will be the most excited for this title.
Teachers and educators should also pay close attention to this book. It effortless tackles social issues in a kid-friendly way and it empowers kids to take action.
There are many applicable uses educators could use this book for, but perhaps the best use is just an opportunity for a tween in your life to read it.
Lucky for you, this book is now available your local book stores and libraries!
Be sure to check it out. :)
