BOOK SYNOPSIS
Riley ORourke is writing his report on President Teddy Roosevelt in preparation for the fourth-grade biography tea, but he has a far more important goal: to get a saxophone so he can take instrumental music. His mother cant afford to rent him a sax, and hes sure hell never save up enough money to buy one. But as Riley learns more about Roosevelts bully spirit, he realizes that there just might be a way to solve his problem after all.
This sparkling story about the influence of important historical figures is enhanced by tender, insightful illustrations.
BOOK REVIEWS
"Mills writes with such a light, humorous touch that many scenes beg to be read aloud. Much information is subtly woven in to the narrative, and the gathering of world leaders at the tea is a sight to behold." --Kirkus Reviews "Enriched by its portrait of grade-school friendships and goofy classroom happenings." --Booklist "Bully for Riley and bully for Mills for writing a timely, comfortable school story filled with likable fourth graders." --The Horn Book Â
