Book #2 in the Ellie May series

Written by Hillary Homzie & illustrated by Jeffrey Ebbeler [Ohio]

Quirky and funny second grader Ellie May can’t believe her class is allowed to celebrate April Fools’ Day- so long as it’s done in good fun. She absolutely loves the idea of targeting a certain someone- the practically perfect Ava. Practicing on her parents and sisters, Ellie May begins to brainstorm harmless pranks. Soon enough, good intentions turn the classroom and her home upside-down when fake ants, trick tape, and hidden surprises don’t go as planned. Ellie May may not be perfect like Miss-Know-it-All Ava, or calm and rational like her best friend Lizzy, but she’s good-hearted and eventually realizes that the best trick is to make friends genuinely laugh- at no one’s expense. 112 pages

"Ellie May is a sympathetic heroine in her yearning for recognition... and the episodic chapters make for approachable and humorous early reading. Spirited, cartoonish black and white art has an appropriately chaotic edge in its interpretation of Ellie May’s diverse classroom and mixed-race family." The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Book
