EllRay Jakes is the smallest kid in his class, the funniest kid and also one of the few African-American kids at Oak Glen Elementary. The biggest kid in class, Jared, has been picking on him for a few weeks and EllRay decides that it’s going to end when his dad offers him a trip to Disneyland if he can stay out of trouble for a week.
This book is an easy read and a fitting topic for elementary and middle school kids alike. Reluctant readers will also enjoy it. Publishers indicate this is the first in a series and I’m eager to read about what other topics EllRay tackles in following books.
