Emmy+and+the+Incredible+Shrinking+Rat

====** Emmy was a goody two shoes. She did her homework, ate her vegetables, and everything that is good. Emmy lived with her nanny, Miss Barmy. All she wanted was her parents to come home. That is why she was always so good. Her nanny said that she needed to do better in school so her parents might come home to see her. But her parents always have one vacation after the other. In school, Emmy is barely noticed. Like one time in the book, the office wanted to know if she was here. The teacher said, “ No I don’t see her.” And when Emmy came up he didn’t recognize her. One day Emmy sat by the classroom rat. That day Emmy stayed inside for recess. She noticed that the rat was being mean to the other students. He made the kids snap their fingers when they were feeding him. She said, “ Why are you always so mean?” While Emmy was in confusion, the rat answered and said, “Why are you always so good?” Then, one day, Emmy finds out that Miss Barmy was doing bad things, VERY bad things. What were the bad things Ms. Barmy was doing? Why is the rat important? **====

====**I chose to nominate this book because I really enjoyed it. When I was on page 6, I could tell that a good part was coming. Every time I picked up the book, I didn’t want to put it down. I also chose to nominate this book because of how each charcter is very different and how they really make the story connect. For example there’s always the person that does something to make the main character think. That is why I chose to nominate this book. **====
