A Crooked Kind of Perfect by Linda Urban
A beautiful baby grand piano, Carnegie Hall, a tiara and gloves up to your elbows are all things ten-year-old, Zoe Elias dreams about for her future.  However, she has a wheeze-bag organ called the Perfecton D-60.  She aspires to be a prodigy.  The reality is Zoe practices songs from the seventies on her old organ.  Zoe enters an annual competition at the Perform O-Rama.  Her dreams come one step closer as she learns to give it her best in the Perform O-Rama.  It is far from Carnegie Hall but Zoe learns that today's opportunities can be rewarding, also.  Appropriate for readers in grades 3-6.

Judy Moody by Megan McDonald

 "Judy Moody was in a mood. Not a good mood. A bad mood." This is what it says on the front cover of Judy Moody. Judy is a third-grader who has some very definite ideas about things. She has interesting adventures and a number of moods to go along with these adventures. Laugh along with Judy as she tries to outsmart her teacher by only writing the word "no" out of Gino's Pizzaria," frightening her brother Stink by putting a fake hand in the toilet, and as Judy tries to assemble a "ME" collage with events and hobbies all related to Judy. In regards to the "ME" collage, Judy discovers that some of the best and worst things that happen to her, can be one and the same. You will also laugh along with Judy as she becomes a member of the "T.P." club.   Judy Moody is a good next step for readers who have outgrown "Junie B. Jones." Recommended for students in grades 2-4.
