Reviews

CJ Baker is a relatable new character navigating everyday adventures with humor, heart, and the added perspective of living with ADHD. In this early chapter book ­series, CJ and his best friend--who lives right across the street--start a neighborhood litter clean-up, adjust to new glasses, track down their teacher's missing book, and play in CJ's first-ever soccer game. Each book is divided into three short chapters with large, full-color illustrations and only a few ­sentences per page, making it an ideal series for readers transitioning to chapter books. The stories are simple but engaging, offering relatable challenges and valuable life lessons. A consistent structure--character introduction, glossary, and reflection ­questions--supports comprehension and builds confidence. While the format and storytelling are reminiscent of other series in this category, the representation of a child with ADHD adds meaningful depth. VERDICT A fun and ­approachable series for emerging readers. A solid choice for libraries where early chapter books are in high demand.-- ""School Library Journal""
