EllRay Jakes Rocks the Holidays!

EllRay Jakes Rocks the Holidays!

The small kid with big problems returns in the seventh book of this beloved series!
Â
Itâ€™s almost Christmas and school is going great for EllRay. Heâ€™s â€œblending inâ€ just the way he likes. So when his father tells him he should be proud to be part of the African-American â€œcommunity,â€ EllRay isnâ€™t so sure he wants to call attention to his differences. After all, heâ€™s only one of two boys in his class with brown skin. And then, totally by accident, he insults the other boyâ€”one of his best friendsâ€”and all at once EllRayâ€™s back to being the center of attention. And not exactly for good reasons.
Â
With Sally Warnerâ€™s trademark sense of humor and spot-on dialogue, EllRay confronts questions about race and how it impacts both himself and everyone around him.
Â
â€œKids of all stripes will identify with EllRay and his unwittingly hilarious antics.â€â€”Booklist
