Recess Is Ruined

By: John Sazaklis, Lee Robinson

Narrated by: anonymous

It's raining and Billy can't stand the thought of another boring indoor recess. So he convinces his buddies to sneak into the library for a Super Samurai Showdown - some imaginary play featuring gods, samurai, and huge stacks of books. No sooner have the gates of Olympus (the stacks of books) fallen, than Billy is caught. Determined to make up for his poor choices and mistreatment of books, Billy organizes a book drive. How many books can Billy collect? Who will be the drive's worthy recipient? Can books really turn Billy to into a model citizen?!

With an exciting, fun-filled plot and strong character development, this book is a great choice for libraries. A glossary, discussion questions, and writing prompts are featured in the end.

Super cool!

I enjoyed this book very much! I felt the same when I had to stay inside at recess at my school!

This book was amazing!

We like that he learned from his mistakes. Billy Burger was able to turn his mistakes into good things
