Fame and Glory in Freedom, Georgia by Barbara O’Connor December 23, 2011

Posted by jcarlson in : Friendship Fiction, Realistic Fiction, School Fiction , trackback

I think I have enjoyed every book I’ve read by Barbara O’Connor.  I sure enjoyed this funny book.  Burdette Weaver, known as Bird, only has one friend, Miss Delphine.  At school, kids make fun of her.  Bird has two goals in life.  The first is to experience one day of fame and glory.  The second is to go to Disney World.  She finally has a chance to reach both goals because of the state spelling bee.  She chooses Harlem Tate as her partner.  He’s a lot like her.  He doesn’t have any friends and doesn’t seem to fit in.  It seems like they have a chance at winning the spelling bee, but Harlem has a secret that’s holding them back.  Read this charming book to find out what happens.
