Very cute series! My son loved it and couldn't wait to read another one! (And he hates reading so this is awesome).

In this final Roscoe Riley book to date, Neo and I undertook quite the adventure. Learning about estimating, superstitions, and the troubles that Roscoe can create for himself, we were highly entertaining and enthralled at the same time. When Roscoe learns that there is a contest taking place at the local bookshop, he is convinced he must participate. There’s a giant pumpkin there, whose weight is the subject of a guessing game. While the winner gets a large number of books donated to the school library, it’s the large pile of candy that has Roscoe wanting to be declared guessing champion. When Roscoe makes his way to the shop, he discovers something terrifying, a black kitten lives there. Worried about all he knows about black cats, Roscoe vows not to stay, as his bad luck could grow exponentially. While adults try to dismiss this talk of luck, Roscoe is convinced that it might play a part. When the day of the contest winner comes, Roscoe is ready to win, though all the luck in the world could not protect him from the series of events that eventually land him in time-out yet again! Neo and I have thoroughly enjoyed this series and will keep an eye out for other books. I would not have found them had my friend, Misty, not recommended them. Neo and I offer her a large THANKS! Just goes to show that recommendations are the key to finding new and awesome books!
