Live from the Fifth Grade

Let's face it...there are people in our lives that we just can't stand! Well, for Roger Friday, a fifth grader at Sacred Heart Elementary, that person is Marsha Cessano! And her feelings toward Roger are definitely the same. Their goal in life is to make each other miserable. And they're doing a great job- dead snakes in lockers, spiders in lunchboxes, and constant put-downs each and every time they come in contact with one another. It's a way of life for them... until the school printer is stolen and they must team up to find the thief. This book is hilarious! My fourth grade students and I loved it. I heard them laughing out loud on numerous occasions as we read it. Since the story is told from Roger's point of view, the reader sees the events that take place the way he sees them, which just adds to the humor. This book ranks right up there with Jerry Spinell's Fourth Grade Rats, one of my all time favorite "funny books." And if you enjoy Live From the Fifth Grade, I highly recommend its sequel Valentine's Day Can Be Murder.

This book was a great book. It was funny and extremely original. You'll laugh your heads off
