In a Minute (Fountas & Pinnell Classroom, Guided Reading)
by Robin Brenston Donald WuNIMAC-sourced textbook
In a Pig's Eye
by Judie Wolkoff[From the front dust jacket flap:] Maisie Blumm and Glenda Jax are best friends--even while they aren't speaking. Which is often. They are both fourth graders at Fairview School in Deer Creek, Connecticut, and each is the owner of the world's most dearly-loved dog. So what if Glenda's Snookums looks like a "hairy mouse", granddaughter of a dustmop (Maisie's opinion). So what if Maisie's Oxie must be a mix of squirrel and baboon, and flea-brained besides (ask Glenda). Girls--and dogs, too--share some hilarious good times. For example, there is the afternoon when Lloyd Blumm is downtown buying a record and Maisie and Glenda can finally sneak a look to see if his room really is booby-trapped. (He's rigged up something! And the reason for that is a small item which appeared in The Poppin Road Gazette about the incredible condition of the "pig sty" he calls his bedroom. The publishers of the paper--Maisie and Glenda--have gone too far in their "DID YOU KNOW?" gossip column, and now Lloyd has declared war). Other good times include the heroic results of the great balloon send-off and the unexpected ending of the Deer Creek Dog Show, when Oxie and Snookums compete head to head for blue ribbons. But wait! All ends well... or does it? Only best friends forgive, forget and survive a crisis laughing.

The Paranormal Surveillance Agency, a secret government agency that tracks extraterrestrials, mistakenly believed that the two brothers had firsthand experience with ETs because they helped destroy the Ratweil, a supernatural mutant that roamed the labyrinth of abandoned subway tunnels under New York City. When a PSA agent arrived one snowy night and requested their assistance in investigating a possible extraterrestrial landing near the North Pole, the two brothers never thought their parents would agree. Miraculously, they did! That decision landed Archibald and Jockabeb on a special task force and launched them on one of their most exciting and dangerous adventures ever. It also reunited them with two members of the mysterious subterranean Moonlight Clan – Meatloaf and Willow. As you begin reading the seventh book in the series, get ready for another epic battle between good and evil – a battle that will test the boy’s courage and sadly, have a few unexpected casualties along the way.
