Mrs. Dole Is Out of Control

Mrs. Dole Is Out of Control by Dan Gutman is a Realistic Fiction book about a AJ and his friends graduating from 2nd to 3rd grade. Mrs. Dole, Ryan’s mother, is the planner. Ryan is one of AJ’s friends. But, Mrs. Dole is crazy! AJ is the narrator. He has curly, brown hair, hates school, and loves summer. The problem is, AJ has to miss summer to go to a graduation that has gone way too far. But, it all falls down in pieces when something bad happens. In my opinion the book was good. I didn’t expect that there would be a petting zoo! Also, AJ was really funny when he was talking to Emily. -Brandon K
