We decided at the meeting to include a new book for the next meeting... the latest Jerry Spinelli book titled Hokey Pokey.
Welcome to Hokey Pokey. A place and a time, when childhood is at its best: games to play, bikes to ride, experiences to be had. There are no adults in Hokey Pokey, just kids, and the laws governing Hokey Pokey are simple and finite. But when one of the biggest kids, Jack, has his beloved bike stolen - and by a girl, no less - his entire world, and the world of Hokey Pokey, turns to chaos.
The overwhelming impression of this book is that it was published simply because Jerry Spinelli had won awards for previous books. It was definitely not a hit.
