Customer Reviews

Our Seven Year Old Loved This Book!

I bought this book for our daughter because of the cover. But the book is funny. Our daughter thought the storyline was funny: "why didn't Keena just tell the truth." She asked! Simple Truth Simple Truth Too: Understanding the Bible In Everyday Life Catch A Falling Star

I hope the author will write more Keena adventures!!!

Great book!!! My daughter loves her books and she can identify with Keena in many ways. I have started a collection of Keena Ford books and I hope there are more to come.

More, Please

Keena Ford lives with her middle-school-age brother and mother in Washington, DC. Her father lives in Maryland, and she sees him on weekends. Eric is her best friend, but disaster strikes when he is assigned to the other second grade class. Both children try to convince the other that their classroom is more delightful. Not only does jealousy creep into their relationship, Keena creeps into serious trouble by ending up under the teacher's desk in Eric's classroom. Keena's proclivity for unintended consequences is given a thorough workout in this wonderful early chapter book. She is a delightful new character. Her thinking processes are revealed to be entirely understandable to young readers, but the repercussions are quite funny. One can only hope that this book is only the beginning of a long and happy relationship with Keena.

Teacher approved!
