trouble4hire. Mrs. Granger, the fifth grade language arts teacher, is a dictionary-wielding terror. (In other words, a big meanie.) But from doing an oral report for her, Nick Allen gets a dangerous idea. If people created all the words in the dictionary, then can he create a word all by himself?
This book is really fun and sweet. It shows up the way that we take even the smallest things for granted. What would happen if we stopped? What would happen if we did just one small thing differently? Three stars.
