Part of the Billy Burger, Model Citizen series
A rainy day, a library adventure, and a quest for redemption. Can books change Billy's ways?
On a rainy day, Billy escapes boredom by leading his friends into a library for a wild imaginary adventure. Caught in the act, he must redeem himself by organizing a book drive. As Billy collects books, he faces the challenge of transforming his reputation. Will his efforts turn him into a model citizen, and who will benefit from his newfound mission? Dive into this tale of imagination, responsibility, and the power of books to change lives.
It’s raining and Billy can’t stand the thought of another boring indoor recess. So he convinces his buddies to sneak into the library for a Super Samurai Showdown–some imaginary play featuring gods, samurai, and huge stacks of books. No sooner have the gates of Olympus (the stacks of books) fallen, than Billy is caught. Determined to make up for his poor choices and mistreatment of books, Billy organizes a book drive. How many books can Billy collect? Who will be the drive’s worthy recipient? Can books really turn Billy to into a model citizen?! With an exciting, fun-filled plot and strong character development, this book is a great choice for libraries. A glossary, discussion questions, and writing prompts are featured in the back matter.
