Regarding the Fountain | |
The Dry Creek Middle School drinking fountain has sprung a leak, so principal Walter Russ dashes off a request to Flowing Waters Fountains, Etc.
...We need a new drinking fountain. Please send a catalog.
Designer Flo Waters responds:
"I'd be delighted...but please understand that all of my fountains are custom-made."
Soon the fountain project takes on a life of its own, one chronicled in letters, postcards, memos, transcripts, and official documents. The school board president is up in arms. So is Dee Eel, of the water-supply company. A scandal is brewing, and Mr. Sam N.'s fifth grade class is turning up a host of hilarious secrets buried deep beneath the fountain.

For my full review: http://tweenbookreviewsforyou.blogspot.com/
If I could describe this book with one word it would be "charming." I would love to befriend Florence Waters, the sweet woman commissioned to make a new drinking fountain for Dry Creek Middle School. I would love to hang out with Sam N. and his fifth grade class for the afternoon and hear how they discovered a plot to divert the natural spring under their town. I would even love to shake hands with Mr. Walter Russ, the school principal, who had to stand up to the mean Sally Mander in order to get the new fountain...
I loved this book. I read it as a child. Because of my dyslexia it was a harder book to read but the store was amazing. The formation that they made the book is fun and interesting. She put heart into this book. I lost this book later on in life but never forgot about it. I repurchased this book for my children. It gives wonderful example that not all great books are in chapters and paragraph format. My children and I have recently finished the first book. They loved it so much that they asked me to purchase the rest. They should arrive soon. An amazing tale told in letters about leaks and liers. Wonderful book for children for all ages.
My ten year old granddaughter is an avid reader, so this gift for her birthday was perfect. She was sure to tell me how funny it is and how it's not like a normal book. The story is told in notes and memos and receipts that lets the reader put the pieces of the events together without the information just being spelled out to them like a regular storybook. She is thinking, she is laughing, and best of all, she is reading!
As a kid this was one of my favorite books ever. I fell in love with the whimsical illustrations, and the storyline, my god, the storyline! So ingenious and creative. I was so envious of that 5th grade class. Honestly, reading this book as a child was a magical experience. I randomly had a dream a few nights ago about the most extravagant elementary school water fountain, which stirred up memories about this book, and started my search for it, which lucky for me, ended really quickly thanks to Amazon. I cannot recommend this book more highly
This is one of my favorite all time kids books. I laugh out loud at some of the crazy antics of the antagonists, and my students are always working overtime to figure out what is going on! Often, parents report that their children just have to read more of these mysteries. What an awesome response to a book for any teacher. Love the letter format in which it is written.
