Resumen del Editor
Can average be amazing? A girl challenges herself to become extraordinary in the latest from best-selling author Andrew Clements.
Jordan Johnston is average. Not short, not tall. Not plump, not slim. Not blond, not brunette. Not gifted, not flunking out. Even her shoe size is average. She’s ordinary for her school, for her town, for even the whole wide world, it seems.
But everyone else? They’re remarkable. She sees evidence everywhere - on TV, in movies and magazines, and even in the email blasts that fill her inbox. Tremendously talented. Stunningly beautiful. Wildly gifted. And some of them are practically her age!
Jordan feels doomed to a life of wallowing in the vast, soggy middle. So she makes a goal: By the end of the year, she will discover her great talent. By the end of the year, she will no longer be average. She will find a way to become extraordinary, and everyone will know about it!
Well known for his expert ability to relate to kids in a school setting, best-selling author Andrew Clements presents a compelling story of the greatest achievement possible - personal acceptance.

Historia
In middle school, words aren't just words. They can be weapons. They can be gifts. The right words can win you friends or make you enemies. They can come back to haunt you. Sometimes they can change things forever. When cell phones are banned at Branton Middle School, Frost and his friends Deedee, Wolf, and Bench come up with a new way to communicate: leaving sticky notes for each other all around the school. It catches on, and soon all the kids in school are leaving notes - though for every kind and friendly one, there is a cutting and cruel one as well.

Historia
Cameron Boxer is very happy to spend his life avoiding homework, hanging out with his friends, and gaming for hours in his basement. It's not too hard for him to get away with it...until he gets so caught up in one game that he almost lets his house burn down around him. Oops. It's time for some serious damage control - so Cameron and his friends invent a fake school club that will make it seem like they're doing good deeds instead of slacking off. The problem? Some kids think the club is real.

Abby Carnelia is an average sixth grader. She gets along okay with her parents, does pretty well in school, and has an annoying little brother. There’s absolutely nothing remarkable about her at all — that is, until the day when she happens to tug on her earlobes while standing in front of a hard-boiled egg. That’s the day Abby discovers there’s something very, very special about her after all: she has a magical power, and there are some people who will do anything to find out where it came from.

It sucks being with Grandpa in this new town. It sucks that they left the old place without finding Rosco. Travis doesn’t want to do anything, especially try to get by in his classes, which never seems possible, anyway. He’s a Bluefish - stupid, angry, alone. Then, suddenly, there’s a girl. Velveeta. She’s up in his face and she’s not backing down. She is as loud as he is quiet, as outgoing as he is shut in. She’s pretty, in a funky, scarf-wearing sort of way, and she’s smart - way smart - smart enough to figure out that Travis has a secret.

“Alex Peter Gregory, you are a moron!” Laurie slammed her palms down on my desk and stomped her foot. I get a lot of that. One car crash. One measly little car crash. And suddenly, I’m some kind of convicted felon. My parents are getting divorced, my dad is shacking up with my third-grade teacher. I might be in love with a girl who could kill me with one finger, and now I’m sentenced to baby-sit some insane old guy. What else could possibly go wrong? This is the story of Alex Gregory, his guitar, his best gal pal Laurie, and the friendship of a lifetime that he never would have expected.

Kevin has a big talent. Some might call it compulsive lying. He calls it common sense. Kev doesn’t mean to cause trouble by lying all the time; he’s just trying to make everything easier for everyone (and himself). And, of course, a few harmless, um, falsehoods are crucial to his plan to convince Tina that he’s the perfect boyfriend for her. In Gary Paulsen’s irresistible and chaotic comedy, Kevin’s lies spiral out of control until he’s faced with the need to do the unthinkable: tell the truth.

At 22, Dan Brown came to the Bronx's P.S. 85 as an eager, fresh-faced teacher. Unbeknownst to him, his assigned class, 4-217, was the designated "dumping ground" for all fourth-grade problem cases, and his students would prove to be more challenging than he could ever anticipate. Intent on being a caring, dedicated teacher but confronted with unruly children, absent parents, and a failing administration, Dan was pushed to the limit time and again: he found himself screaming with rage, punching his fist through a blackboard out of sheer frustration, often just wanting to give up and walk away.

Many years ago, the storytellers say, the great King Arthur brought justice to England with the help of his gallant Knights of the Round Table. Of these worthy knights, there was never one so fearless, so chivalrous, so honorable, so...shiny as the dashing Sir Lancelot, who was quite good at defending the helpless and protecting the weak, just as long as he’d had his afternoon nap. Behold the very exciting and very funny adventures of Lancelot the Great, as only the acclaimed Arthurian author Gerald Morris can tell them.

Genuinely funny books for children are few and far between. So, when a story like Henry Huggins comes along, it comes to stay. Children everywhere see themselves in this irresistible boy's adventures.

This is the powerful story of Gladys Aylward. Without formal education or a missionary organization to back her, Gladys raised her own finances for the overland trip that would bring her to the country and people that God had etched so deeply on her heart.... China! What follows is an amazing adventure of faith and determination. Gladys Aylward, a housemaid from England, dared to trust God in the face of dire and seemingly hopeless circumstances. Her amazing adventure of faith and determination is one of the truly great missionary stories of our era.

Historia
Benjamin Pratt’s school is about to become the site of a new amusement park. It sounds like a dream come true! But lately, Ben has been wondering if he’s going to like an amusement park in the middle of his town—with all the buses and traffic and eight-dollar slices of pizza. It’s going to change everything. And, Ben is not so big on all the new changes in his life....

Ouch! Not a good fit! Less than Average
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
No. Maybe the printed version but not this audio book. This is certainly not the worst title in my library but it just doesn't sway me like it should. I love kids books and this just doesn't do it.
About Average is about a girl who is bullied in school and while she doesn't excel at anything in school for anyone to take notice, she does eventually save the day. The narration is too husky, too grown up, too angry, too weird to think I am listening to a kid. I had a hard time switching between characters when the voice just didn't change enough.
I wonder if the narrator had been Ariadne Meyers or Jessica Almasy if this title would have won me over. A know Ariadne would have been wonderful here. She is delightful to listen to (Bras and Broomsticks by Sarah Mlynowski).
Would you be willing to try another one of Celia Keenan-Bolger’s performances?
Not yet. Maybe never. Ok, fine. Maybe if the characters were much older, but not kids, not tweens, and not teens.
Any additional comments?
This whole story began and I sat looking at my player wondering if I had a download that had been compromised by aliens, it was wrong from the start. I did not listen to a sample of this book because I have read other Andrew Clements books before, and listened to a few titles. This one just did not cut it. I hate reviewing with a low score because I get something from nearly every book I read, this one didn't offend me like a few adult books but it certainly did not make me giggle. It requires a good belly laugh for to be a good book in my opinion.

Moving and Uplifting
The story of Jordan, a young girl who believes she is not special, and her discovery of the power she has within makes for a tale both inspirational and nail-biting. It would be too much of a spoiler to reveal how Jordan comes to believe in herself, but suffice it to say the plot takes striking twists and turns before this excellent book reaches its excellent conclusion. The book started out somewhat slow but quickly gained momentum. Highly recommended!

Amazing Ending
This one is a little unusual for a Kids book, partly because most of story takes place during the course of a single school day instead of several weeks to a month or more. However, despite that and a very slow start, this book has great story and strong message. Also, the last part of the book was very intense but ended on an inspiring note.

About Average is below average for author Clements
I believe Andrew Clements' Frindle, his first book released in 1985. is his best children's book ever. About Average, a 2012 release, is a sweet story with an excellent lesson, but this multiple award winning author has written many better children's stories.The protagonist is 12 year old Jordan Johnston who is about average in every way until she becomes very special in a unique way. Although I award About Average 4 stars, there are so many 5 star books for the 10 12 age range that I cannot recommend it over the many better ones.
