EllRay Jakes Is a Rock Star!

(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Jamie Harper. The star of EllRay Jakes Is Not a Chicken! tries to become more popular at school by giving away his geologist father's crystals. When his plan backfires, EllRay must dig his own way out of a hole. The third-grader's narrative voice isn't believable (he sounds much older), but fans of the first book will appreciate his inventiveness. Black-and-white spot art appears throughout.
