Fifth grader Kate (the Great) is back in business. Specifically the food-drive business, as she, Brooke, and (odd) Nora try to win the Junior Guides competition. But lately their trio has felt imbalanced, with Kate on the outside. It doesn t help that the American Revolution unit at school is turning everyone against each other. Armed with her smarts, an artillery of doodles, and maybe even some advice from Eleanor Roosevelt, Kate must find a way to keep her friends, old and new.
Praise for Kate the Great:
She s funny. Quirky. Original. Kate s the greatest. Lincoln Peirce, author of "Big Nate"
Becker does an excellent job of channeling the behind-adults -back humor and friendship frustrations of the middle school crowd. "Publishers Weekly"
Becker s first illustrated novel falls neatly in line with many others of its ilk, series such as Big Nate and Diary of a Wimpy Kid. "Booklist""
