Moxy Maxwell Does Not Love Stuart Little by Peggy Gifford JFIC

It's not that Moxy hates to read. She just hates summer reading! She wants to read what she wants. This book takes place on August 23rd, the day before 4th grade starts. Moxy has still not read Stuart Little. Her mother has forbidden her to go to her synchronized swimming show tonight (which she has been practicing all summer for!) unless she finishes reading. Unfortunately, Moxy spends most of the day thinking up plans to keep her from reading which ends in disaster. Her brother Mark is there to take pictures of the events throughout the day (which are scattered around in the book). Moxy was a really funny character. She is very motivated and excited about the future. She has 3 pages of things she wants to do when she grows up. What do you think happens when her mom comes home and finds out she didn't read the book?????? I would recommened this book if you like reading comedies.

Food for Thought: Have you ever read a book that you thought you would hate but ended up liking it? What didn't you like about it at first?
