Stanford Wong Flunks Big-Time by Lisa Yee

3.0

I chose this book for the guys in my 6th grade reading group and the girls are going to read the companion novel, Millicent Min, Girl Genius. When I assigned the books had only read Millicent. I will be interested to see if the guys thought this book was too girly. One of the big conflicts is that Stanford really wants to impress a girl and I am not sure how middle school boys will appreciate it. They are very critical of anything they say is too girly. Other than that I thought it was a cute, light read that hits on some good topics for 5th-7th graders like trying to impress your friends, feeling like you are failing your family's expectations, and what really makes a good person. It could be a very fun read aloud book for a class.
