Bookroo's summary

Kelsey Green is determined to lead her third-grade class to victory in a school-wide reading contest. But with Cody refusing to read and Simon possibly cheating, can she secure the top spot? As friendships are tested and secrets unfold, Kelsey must navigate challenges to claim her title as the best reader. Will her love for books be enough to win the prize and outsmart her rivals?

From the publisher

Kelsey Green is the best reader in the third grade–well, maybe tied for best with know-it-all Simon Ellis. When the principal Mr. Boone announces a school-wide reading contest, complete with a pizza party for the winning class and a special certificate for the top readers in each grade, she knows she’s just the person to lead Mrs. Molina’s third graders to victory. But how can they win when her classmate Cody Harmon doesn’t want to read anything, and even Kelsey’s best friends Annika and Izzy don’t live up to her expectations? And could Simon possibly be reading all of those books that he claims he is, or is he lying to steal Kelsey’s rightful spot at the top?Kelsey Green, Reading Queen is the first book in Claudia Mills’s Franklin School Friends series.
