Novel Study: Jacob Two-Two Meets the Hooded Fang

Good Evening Grade 4's!

We will be starting our Novel Study on Monday February 7th.  All of you will be receiving a copy of the book on Friday.  This will give you an opportunity to browse through the book over the weekend.  I read this novel when I was your age and I feel you will enjoy it just as much as I did.

Story Summary
Jacob Two-Two Meets the Hooded Fang is about a young boy who strives to be heard. He is nicknamed Two-Two because he has to say things twice to be heard.  One day, Jacob decided to try buying groceries for his parents. He is misunderstood by the grocer, who thinks Jacob insulted him, and as a result finds himself in court, sentenced to two years, two months, two weeks, two hours and two minutes in the Children's Prison hundreds of miles away from civilization. It is a dark, dirty, dungeon-like place where children work and are kept in cells.  Only two plus two plus two years old and a prisoner, Jacobs future seems bleak indeed. But though he is young and small he is far from helpless, and when the Infamous Two come to his aid, Child Power triumphs.Jacob Two-Two's ordeal and rescue is the substance and delight of this marvelously funny story.
