I was laughing out loud in the library over this book. Alex Frankovitch has a big mouth that leads him into a lot of trouble. He can't help being the fifth grade class clown. He begins to lie about baseball talents when local pitching hero, T.J. challenges him to a pitching contest. He talks the talk but can't walk the walk...or pitch the pitch in his case. Afterwards, Alex can't stop getting into one humiliating situation after another. Readers will appreciate his sense of humor even if his teachers and parents don't.

I'm not familiar with what an alphabox is but we have plenty of copies at the library if you want to come browse!
The grade 3 class at Coquihalla School is reading "Skinny Bones". We like stories with lots of humor. . . .Skinny Bones provides that and more. A great read.
