- Short biography
- I draw upon my teaching experience to create educational books that bring laughter back to the classroom (and the kitchen table). When I first began teaching, I discovered how difficult it was to find educational books that my students actually wanted to read.
I started writing my own novellas after work, sharing the fresh chapters with my students, never disclosing the fact that I was the author. Their reactions, their uncontrollable laughter, their frustration when it was time to stop reading, their genuine interest long after the bell had rung, were enough to convince me that I was onto something.
My first book, Attack of the Chicken Nugget Man: A North Carolina EOG Adventure, was published in 2009. - Nationality

This book does an outstanding job of helping students study without them even realizing it. The story is hilarious and exactly what an upper level elementary child loves to read. As a children's librarian I see everyday how children respond to "potty humor" and this book is sure to be a hit. The main character is a cross between Diary of a Wimpy Kid meets Captain Underpants. Throughout the story tidbits of test prep questions are placed...these too have a comedic value and guarantee to keep show more students giggling the whole way through.
I would love to see more of these books expanded for test questions of all genres and states. show less

This review was written for LibraryThing Member Giveaways.
The Attack of the Chicken Nugget Man takes a silly story and at the end of each section asks "silly standardized test questions." Each question is linked to a reference number that tests common core educational standards.
I though this is a great idea to take a non intimidating story and help kids learn skills that will help them do better in school.
I'm going to donate the copy I received through the LibraryThing Member Giveaway to the Principal of my Elementary School to peruse.
