Radio Fifth Grade Written by Gordon Korman
In this funny and accessible novel, all Benjy Driver ever wanted was for Kidsview, his school’s radio show, to be a success. When he finds himself stuck with a talking parrot who won’t talk, a bully who hogs the airwaves, and way too much homework, he’s sure Kidsview is doomed. Instead, the ratings soar, and he and his cohosts, Mark and Ellen-Louise, have to come up with one scheme after another to keep their show on top—and to keep themselves a step ahead of disaster.
