Booktalk #1 Paulie Fink was the coolest, wildest, most fun kid at Mitchell School in Vermont. Then he was gone. What happened to Paulie? And, more importantly, who is going to take his place as the official class clown? Realistic Fiction. (Rhode Island Middle School Book Award 2021) Booktalk #2 When Caitlyn moves from New York to a rural town in Vermont, she’s one of only ten students in her tiny new 7th grade – and all she seems to hear about from her classmates is the story of the amazing (and now mysteriously disappeared) class clown/klutz/troublemaker Paulie Fink. Caitlyn is put in charge of a realitystyle-show competition to find the next great Paulie Fink – and as the shenanigans ensue, what Caitlyn learns about her eccentric classmates and Paulie himself leads her to question what it means to be a legend. (Vermont Middle Grade Book Award, 2021) |
