The Misadventures of Michael McMichaels Vol 2: The Borrowed Bracelet by Tony Penn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

My former graduate student, Anthony Della Penna, part of the faculty in The Foreign Language Department at La Guardia High School, is also a celebrated author of the delightful, frivolous reader for youngsters, The Misadventures of Michael McMichaels. His pen name is Tony Penn (how great is that?). This particular volume had me laughing out loud, since Michael is yet again up to no good, but he is such an innocent, good boy at heart, that he is still utterly and totally lovable, despite his mischief. In this second volume, in true Dennis the Menace fashion, Michael is yet again in trouble with the most stupendous show and tell ever, filled with white lies and other forms of trouble. This series, published by Boys Town Press for second and third graders, is certain to charm and delight not just the child, but the parents and educators who traipse along for the read, and more Michael misadventures.
