EllRay Jakes is the smallest boy in his third-grade class at Oak Glen Primary, but what he lacks in height he makes up for in heart. Readers join EllRay as he stands up to bully Jared Matthews in Is Not a Chicken, learns bragging rights matter less than friendship in Is a Rock Star, and settles into steadier school life in Walks the Plank. In EllRay Jakes the Dragon Slayer, he looks out for his little sister Alfie when she faces trouble at preschool, while EllRay Jakes and the Beanstalk shows how his best friends Kevin and Corey help him through everyday scrapes. EllRay Jakes Is Magic follows his nerves ahead of the school talent show, EllRay Jakes Rocks the Holidays captures the excitement of December at Oak Glen, and EllRay Jakes the Recess King sees him navigate shifting friendships in the playground. Each short, illustrated chapter book blends laugh-out-loud moments with honest lessons about courage, kindness and belonging. Sally Warner's dialogue-driven storytelling has earned praise from School Library Journal and Kirkus, and is widely used by teachers to spark discussion about friendship and self-esteem.. Eight complete paperback stories in one great-value boxed set. Short chapters and lively illustrations perfect for emerging and reluctant readers.
