Brian woke up exceptionally early for a Saturday morning. Too excited to sleep, he jumped out of bed and ran downstairs to the kitchen, announcing, "Today is the day I've been waiting for! Today I will get my game!" Brian would soon find that the day holds additional surprises for him, including an unexpected visit from someone who takes him on a journey he could never have imagined.
Joann LaPorta wrote RUPERT to bring the joys of reading and learning into the hearts of young folks. Her writing is unique because she teaches topics not so interesting to children using a self-reflective style and a lot of humor. Her bonus Educational Supplement adds to each chapter's impact by encouraging thoughtful discussion of story elements and strengthening reading comprehension skills.
