Willimena Rules!: How to Fish for Trouble - Book #2

Our daughter enjoyed this one as she does all the Willemenia Simple Truth Simple Truth Too: Understanding the Bible In Everyday Life Catch A Falling Star

It's has been very difficult trying to find books for my twin 8yr old daughters. I wanted a series of books with the star character being an African American girl just having fun and doing kid stuff. A book that will make them know that reading is fun. This book does just that and more. I only wish that there were more of them because I already bought them all. If you're looking for a great chapter book for an African American girl, then author Valerie Wilson Wesley's series of "Willimena Rules" is it. Also try, Gloria Rising and Gloria's Way by Ann Cameron.

WILLIMENA'S RULES! HOW TO FISH FOR TROUBLE by Valerie Wilson Wesley is rule book #2 in a series of books about Willimena Thomas. It's spring break and Willimena is excited to have a whole week out of school and overjoyed that her favorite cousin, Teddy, is coming to spend spring break at her house. Her dad has all kinds of activities planned for Willimena, her big sister, Tina and cousin Teddy. Willimena can hardly wait for Teddy's arrival but when Teddy does finally arrive he goes from being F.C. (favorite cousin) to T.T.T (Teddy the Terrible). Teddy is getting all the attention from everyone including Tina, her father and all her friends. What was once going to be a fun week for Willimena ends up being a horrible one as she feels left out of everything and replaced by her cousin Teddy. When Willimena starts fishing for trouble it isn't hard to see who her bait will be, cousin Teddy. Valerie Wilson Wesley's WILLIMENA'S RULES! HOW TO FISH FOR TROUBLE takes us on an adventurous journey of what happens when a child feels left out. All children at one time or another have felt left out and it is exciting to see how Willimena handles the situation. I recommend this book to those of you with children ages 9-12. My 9 year old read it as soon as I finished and she loved it too. Reviewed by Eraina B. Tinnin of The RAWSISTAZ Reviewers
