Oogie Cooder

Author: Sarah Weeks

Why Selected: Choice

Literary Merit: A fun story about your typical outcast who finds fame due to his ability to "charve" (carve cheese by biting it) and learns who real friends are in the process. Learns its good to be different. Has a good flow but maybe a little predictable.

Share: Class read. Grades 3-5

Appeal: Suggest to a child that may feel left out. Boys and Girls would like it but it is mainly about a boy.

Awards: Nominated for Young Hoosier Intermediate 2010-11
