Claudia Mills

I wish I could write like Claudia Mills. She is the perfect early chapter book writer. Here latest, Kelsey Green, Reading Queen, was about me as a little girl, the girl who would rather read than do anything else, the girl who would hide her book under the edge of the desk so she could read when the teacher was droning on about something else.
Kelsey is a well rounded youngest child who loves to read and is excited when her school has a reading competition. She competes with another excellent reader in her class, the dreaded Simon, who is good at everything and might just be cheating. Over the course of this short story, the reader has a glimpse of Kelsey's life at home, at school and with her friends. She helps a fellow third grader who does not like to read because he can't do it well, she tries to prove Simon is a cheater, but is pleasantly surprised to find that he is not and that he also loved The Secret Garden, and she yells at her family but is quickly forgiven. The perfect book for those early readers. Thanks for writing, Claudia!
