Billie B. Brown The Night Fright
The Hey Jack! and Billie B. Brown series were written and designed expressly with new, emerging readers in mind. Each book is a stand-alone, where Billie and Jack face a new experience, or overcome an issue in their own unique way. Gentle and timeless, they are friendship stories, family stories, and school stories. There are no more than 50 words on each page, and there is word art or illustration on every second page to provide reading breaks. (This visual stimulus also helps readers engage with the story.)
Billie loves Rebecca's older sisters. They make her feel so grown up! But is Billie grown up enough to handle the scary movies they like or will she end up with The Night Fright? (?Being the new girl's buddy is a VERY important job. Billie is excited! But what happens when the new girl starts to copy everything Billie does? Does she want to be friends with The Copycat Kid? Billie's class used to swim in the little pool. But this year they're moving to the big one. Will Billie be too scared to swim in The Deep End?)
Themes: Friendship, new experiences, self-esteem.
Notable Features: Feisty, irresistible heroine, true-to-life situations, positive problem-solving.
