Henkes, Kevin The Year of Billy Miller, 229 pgs. 2013 Greenwillow Books $16.99. Language: G; Violence: G; Mature Content: G.
Billy Miller is a 2nd grader, he hopes he’s smart enough for 2nd grade, grown up enough and that his teacher will like him. His little sister Sal can embarrass him, and the girl who sits next to him at school is mean. But Billy can figure it out. With two supportive parents and a caring teacher, 2nd grade really is the year of Billy Miller.
This Newbery Honor book is a must have for the elementary library. Henkes (Liilly’s Purple Plastic Purse, Owen) writes so well for the young reader. This novel-sized, age appropriate offering is a perfect springboard for the early reader to try a chapter book and a perfect bedtime read.
