1-3Zigzag Kids series.
Illustrated by
Alasdair Bright.
A group of kids loves the afterschool activities--and friendship opportunities--offered by the Zigzag Afternoon Center. In Number One, Mitchell worries he's not special, then discovers he is great at writing. In Whopper, Destiny tells a lie (she's descended from President "Abrehem Washington") to impress her friend. Readers not put off by the didactic content will enjoy the unique setting and engaging characters. Review covers these Zigzag Kids titles: Big Whopper and Number One Kid.
