Good chapter book with African American protagonist - though this is not a big deal in the book. Ellray faces the sort of situation that readers will be able to relate to and deals with it in a realistic manner. Not sure why the cover illustration of Ellray and the inside illustrations are so different.

Great book for kids. My daughter is 7 and we’ve started reading chapter books at night (1-2 chapters per night). We’ve recently finished reading this & she loved it. I love that it teaches honesty and responsibility. Great read.

We found this to be another good read in the EllRay series. As a parent I like the real world challenges and problems that face EllRay. The classroom scenarios seem plausible. The way situations are handled and solved work well for discussions as we are reading. Most of the middle grade chapter books we read have female main characters so EllRay is a fresh voice to read.

On the whole - two thumbs up for this series.
