Introducing our 2023-24 Title!
Each leap year, on February 29th, at 4:23 p.m., every member of the Bailey family over the
age of twelve gets a superpower. No one knows why, and no one questions it. All the Baileys know is that it's their duty to protect the world from those evil, supervillainous Johnsons. Today, Rafter Bailey and his brother Benny are finally going to get their superpowers. Benny wants to be a speedy, and Rafter hopes he gets super strength so he can save the day just like his grandfather. But when their powers arrive, they are, well, duds. Rafter can light matches on polyester, and Benny can turn his innie belly button into an outie. Suddenly Rafter and Benny's world is turned upside down. Especially when they realize that Juanita Johnson, the villain in Rafter's algebra class, thinks that her family are the superheroes and the Baileys are the villains. What if everything Rafter thought he knew about superheroes turns out to be a lie? He may not have an awesome power, but with the help of Benny and an unexpected friend, he could just be almost super.~Goodreads |
What is One School One Book?
One School, One Book is a program designed to get students and parents excited about reading while building a community of readers. This year at FMES, students will be reading the story in their classrooms instead of at home. As a school, students will hear chapters read aloud daily, and participate in discussions, literacy activities, and trivia. Your children are all a very special part of our FMES family. We hope this event brings all of us together regardless of where their classroom is. We know your children are going to love this engaging, fun, fantasy story, so please ask them about it every night and feel free to follow along.
