Earth To Matthew

Okay, so here's my strategy... before I lose momentum, the plan is to read as many of next year's Battle of the Books books as I can-- AND write the questions to go with them. So I started with Earth To Matthew by Paul Danziger. Danziger is not one of my favorite authors, so I didn't expect this to be my favorite of the B.B. books. Matthew is a sixth grader. He's got an older sister who drives him crazy, a girl at school who is his arch enemy, and another who is his first real "girlfriend". This whole girlfriend thing is kind of confusing to Matthew, who often thinks he would be having more fun with the boys. Part of the story takes place during a field trip to the Franklin Institute Camp-In, which should be familiar to some of our kids and fun to read about. Earth to Matthew should be a quick, easy read for our 5th and 6th grade teams.
