A very mean thing.
I HATE that I did it.
But I did.
This is worse than
carrot juice on a cupcake
or a wasp on my pillow
or a dress that’s too tight at the neck."
Eleanor is very jealous of the new girl in her class who seems to be taking over her best friend, Pearl's, place in her heart and her time in and out of school. Her worry is making her act in ways she is not too proud of, and on top of that, she is terrified to sing the solo in the class play her teacher wants her to, and her puppy is being sent away for training. Will Eleanor make it through 4th grade? Read Like Carrot Juice on a Cupcake by Julie Sternberg, for a very funny yet realistic story with characters and situations you will feel like you know well! And watch for other books in this series next fall. Grades 3 - 4.
