I do book reviews from a reader's point-of-view and try to spread the magic of reading.

Roland Wright: Brand-New Page by Tony Davis
Roland is the smallest, skinniest page you've ever seen. And his pet is a mouse, which is banned from the castle grounds. He's determined, though. He's going to be the best page ever!
Delacorte Press has published this very cute beginning reader series and sent me a copy for review (thank you). Gregory Rogers' illustrations really add to the story and will make your child smile. This is the second book in the series, the first was Roland Wright #1: Future Knight.
I always root for the underdog, so how could I not root for Roland? He's small, easy to ignore, and trying hard to stay out of trouble. It doesn't take long, though, and he's getting blamed for a lot of wrong doing - all because he got on the wrong side of Hector, a bigger and older page.
Roland has courage, though, so when he's presented with his biggest challenge and a chance to prove his innocence, he steps up and handles it while the others run.
This is an excellent book for boys who may be reluctant readers. There's action, illustrations, and I'm sure they'll empathize with poor Roland. The book is available for sale now, so check out your local bookstore. You might want to get copies of both books for your child. And there will be another one in the series to watch for. It's a good, easy read for those just beginning to read chapter books.
