The Thing About Georgie
January 25th, 2008
I just finished reading this new novel by Lisa Graff. I really liked it. The main character is Georgie, and he leads a pretty normal life with his friends and family, well, except for Jeanie the Meanie. She is just not nice! I mean, who does she think she is calling Georgie names like “shrimpazoid.” This wouldn’t be such a big deal, but you see, Georgie is a dwarf. He’s pretty tough though and shrugs off her name calling. But when he gets in a fight with his best friend, his parents tell him their “great news,” and Jeanie the Meanie becomes his history report partner, well… how many troubles can one boy handle!?! Head on down to the library to check out this new book. It’s perfect for girls and boys ages 9-13.
