Review
Cody Harmon lives on a farm. He hates most things about school. He loves animals, and has nine pets. They include dogs, cats, chickens and a rooster, and a pig. When a school pet show is announced, he knows he and his pets will be the stars of the show. The only problem is there is a $10 entry fee for each pet. Friendship and kindness flow through Cody's solutions. Humor flows as well, as Cody negotiates with his friends to share his animals for the show. This is a good book to hand to those somewhat lower level middle grade readers who want a satisfying story. It is part of a series, so children in that group who like the story can have other books to look to as well.
Overall Book Score: good
