Shifty Business
Shifty Business | Greg Trine
1 post | 1 read
Fourth-grade superhero Jo Schmo doesn’t know that a crime wave is about to hit her city. She’s too busy learning new superhero skills, like shape-shifting. Only it doesn’t seem to be going very well: what bad guy is scared of a superhero that looks like a frizzy-haired teacher? But Jo and her loyal doggy sidekick, Raymond, know they have to stop the villainous Numb Skull before the crime wave builds into full-on crime tsunami. And if that means Jo has to risk shape-shifting into a freckled monster, then that’s just what she’ll do!

The Adventures of Jo Schmo Shifty Business is SF novel #3 of 4 by Greg Trine that I would use for IR. Jo Schmo is a 4th grade superhero who doesn‘t know a crime wave is about to hit her city. She‘s too busy learning new superhero skills, like shape-shifting. Will she defeat the villainous Numb Skull before the crime wave builds into a full-on crime tsunami? Check out this book to find out! #UCFLAE3414SP18

WendyV I would include this book in my classroom library for students to have access to choosing it for IR. It‘s a funny, out there book that even the kids who don‘t enjoy reading won‘t be able to put down. (UDL 7.1) If my students were assigned an IR book, I would have students read 2-3 chapters a week as homework (EL 38) 7y
WendyV I found a scholastic blog on empowering students through IR that I thought fit in perfectly.

NanaBurf Love the super hero is female!! 7y
WendyV @NanaBurf I also liked that the superhero was female! 7y
DrSpalding This is more so fantasy. Good idea to chunk it for homework. EL 38 is perfect. 7y
