The Recess Queen by Alexis O'neill

iAn irrepressible new girl dethrones the reigning recess bully by becoming her friend in this infectious playground romp./i

Mean Jean was Recess Queen and nobody said any different.

Nobody swung until Mean Jean swung.

Nobody kicked until Mean Jean kicked.

Nobody bounced until Mean Jean bounced.

If kids ever crossed her, she'd push 'em and smoosh 'em

lollapaloosh 'em, hammer 'em, slammer 'em

kitz and kajammer 'em.

Until a new kid came to school!

Parents and teachers will appreciate the story's deft handling of conflict resolution (which happens without adult intervention).

b"A lively story about the power of kindness and friendship" --iPublishers Weekly/i

"A lighthearted look at a serious topic in schools and on playgrounds everywhere..." -- iSchool Library Journal/i

"Great for reading aloud and joining in." -- iBooklist/i/b

ALEXIS O'NEILL's all-time favorite game at recess was kickball. She also loved kick-the-can, hide-and-seek, and red rover, but she wasn't fond of dodge ball (ouch!). Alexis is grateful for the loyal, true-blue friends she has in her life. She lives in Southern California with her best, best friend (who has never ever been her worst best friend)--her husband, David, a computer wiz who makes her laugh.
LAURA HULISKA-BEITH was an enthusiastic hopper in the schoolyard, where she was often found playing hopscotch and jumping rope. A not-so-big kid, and now a not-so-big grown up, Laura lives in Kansas City, Missouri, with her four best, best friends (yes, she believes you can have four best, best friends): her husband Jeff, and their three dogs Roxy, Chloe, and Jake.
