Return to Planet Tad

Gr 4–6—Tad is now almost 14 in this sequel to Planet Tad (HarperCollins, 2014). This book will make readers laugh out loud uproariously and with no reserve. Tad blogs over the course of a year on his father's computer. He shares stories about his little sister, his parents, and his friends and enemies at school. Tad, like most kids, experiences the ups and downs of adolescence. Through his blog, he shares his thoughts about various subjects, such as the occurrence of blizzards on days when there is no school (a waste of a perfectly good blizzard in his opinion). Each blog entry is accompanied by a matching emoticon. With black-and-white illustrations throughout, this funny offering is sure to delight fans of the Jeff Kinney's "Wimpy Kid." Coming of age is tricky business, but Tad will help readers see the joy in some pretty silly situations.—Katy Charles, Virgil Elementary School, Cortland, NY
