BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - OPTIONAL

AUDIENCE APPEAL: SOME

Regina Grey, an elementary student, is known for solving problems at her school.  Her nickname is The Recess Genius.  Aimee, who is in charge of the school talent show, comes to Regina with a problem.  No one is signing up for the talent show!  Can Regina solve this problem too?

This is the second book in Johnson’s  Recess Genius series.  I thought the plot was interesting and the illustrations were very colorful.  The Recess Genius-Tons of Talent would be a good book to teach problem-solving. 

Regina is presumably white. Several other nationalities are represented by her classmates.
