Things are going just swimmingly for EllRay. He's finally getting along with most of the kids at school. He's even getting along with his family. But then everything comes screeching to a halt when his younger sister accidently overfeeds the classroom goldfish EllRay was supposed to be taking care of over Spring vacation. What is EllRay going to tell his teacher and the kids in his third-grade class? Fortunately, most of them are sympathetic. But not bossy Cynthia. She sees this as an opportunity to blame EllRay for her own mess-ups. Must EllRay now walk the plank for stuff that he didn't do?

Welcome to my Amazon Author Page! I am honored you stopped by. I'm the author of over forty books so far, most of them novels for young readers and middle readers. Almost all of them can be called "realistic fiction," but they are always funny, too - just the way real life so often is!

My most recent series for Viking Children's Books are THE EMMA BOOKS: Only Emma, Super Emma, Excellent Emma, and three others, for kids 7 - 10, and THE ELLRAY JAKES BOOKS: EllRay Jakes is Not a Chicken!, EllRay Jakes is Magic!, my most recent book, EllRay Jakes the Recess King!, and five others-with the last one, EllRay Jakes Stands Tall! coming out soon. These are from Viking too, and are also for kids ages 7 - 10.

EllRay's younger sister Alfie has her own series coming, too, between 2016 - 2018. This series takes place three years after the last EllRay book, making Alfie Jakes seven years old when the first book begins - and her big brother EllRay eleven years old. And tall!

An interesting thing about these most recent series - THE EMMA BOOKS and THE ELLRAY JAKES BOOKS - is that all fifteen of them feature the same kids in the same third grade class! Writing the books was like dong a giant puzzle, in a way. But the stories are told from either Emma's or EllRay's point of view, of course.

While I am not able to do school visits at this time, I am always available through my new website - www.sallywarnerbooks.com - and will be happy to answer your questions and read what you have to say. I love my mail! Thanks again for visiting my page, and keep reading.

I can say the little guy that received the first four books of this series was totally immersed in the storyline and couldn't put the books down. Ellray provided a number of similarities for the young man gifted the books, which made it even easier for him to enjoy the books. The added plus is that many of the scenarios covered are things he has experienced and provided more light bulb moments to help him understand what his parents have said to him.

My 8 year old niece received these as a gift from me. I bought them for her over a year ago and she has recently given me a review on them. She said they were good and it felt like she was in the story. It engaged her enough that she finished the book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great kids story!
Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2015
When EllRay Jakes takes his new class mascot "Zip", the goldfish, home to take care of him over Spring Break his little sister accidentally overfeeds him and he ends up floating in the bowl. When Monday comes around he has to figure out a way to to tell his class that he killed Zip and hopefully they won't hate him. As the week goes on things seem to go from bad to worse, and Ellray continues to think of himself as the "Class Messup". Will he ever be anything more than a kid who constantly makes mistakes?

My kids and I enjoyed reading this book from Scholastic. It was our first EllRay Jakes book and I'm sure it won't be our last. I loved that it ended with a moral that actually fit my kids current situation.
