Dog Days

(2) 1-3 Carver Chronicles series. Illustrated by Laura Freeman. English kicks off a new series, set in the same classroom as her Nikki and Deja books, starring Gavin, a new kid at Carver Elementary. Readers will identify with this character who is full of good intentions. Freeman's occasional black-and-white illustrations give readers a picture of the neighborhood. Chapter book readers have few options for reading about urban boys of color; here's hoping for more about Gavin.
