Hoop Queen

"Kylie Jean is a series of chapter books for girls. If your child loves reading Judy Moody or Ramona Quimby then these books will keep your child's attention. Kylie Jean loves taking part in any competition going on in her school or in the community. The books also shows how close Kylie Jean is with her family especially her Ugly Brother the dog…and don't go telling him he's a dog…lol! I love that Marci Peschke tackled bullying in the Drama Queen book and showing Kylie Jean's kind and thoughtful side. Kylie Jean makes kids believe that no matter the task if you keep practicing you will be better at it. If you are looking for a good chapter book to start your child reading then I recommend Kylie Jean series. Check out the study guide and cooking recipes at the end of the book. http://mymcbooks.wordpress.com/2011/07/15/book-review-giveaway-kylie-jean-ends-25-july/"

"Kylie Jean is good at so many things...why is basketball so hard? She's going to have to work really hard in order to win the free throw competition and become the Little Dribbler Queen. It's a good thing that Kylie Jean isn't afraid of a little hard work! Kylie Jean won me over in the first book I read (Blueberry Queen), and I enjoyed reading all four of the books I've read so far. Hoop Queen, even with the princess/queen/tiara angle, is also a sports story, and might attract readers who are more interested in that than in the queen-ness. http://crowdingthebooktruck.blogspot.com/2011/05/hoop-queen-by-marci-peschke.html"
