I was contacted by Kristen of Algonquin Young Readers to see if I would read and review this book on a blog tour and I jumped at the chance. The Book is called Don't Check Out this Book by Kate Klise. It tells the story about a failing Middle Grade School who gets a new Librarian by the name of Rita B Danjerous who encourages the pupils to read by having certain books they can get out without using their library cards. This infuriates the new School Board President who only seems to be out for her own gain and this includes making rules for the school which are finacially beneficial for herself. What I liked about this book was that it was written in either letter form, emails, newspaper reports and interviews and not forgetting the illustrations too. There was scene in the book that broke me and I did shed a tear but all I will say is that you will know it when you come to read it For this reason I have to give this book 4 stars
