Episode 54: "How to Win a Slime War" by: Mae Respicio

Hey there teachers, in the classroom and those at home, need someone to help you get the kids into reading?  Join me in this week's episode while I read aloud the first chapter of "How to Win a Slime War" by: Mae Respicio. Alex Manalo and his dad have just moved back to Sacramento to revive their extended family's struggling Filipino market. While Alex likes helping at the store, his true passion is making slime! He comes up with his own recipes, playing with ingredients, colors, and textures that make his slime truly special. Encouraged by a new friend at school, Alex begins to sell his creations, leading to a sell-off battle with a girl who previously had a slime-opoly. Winner gets bragging rights and the right to be the only slime game in town. But Alex's dad thinks Alex should be focused more on "traditional" boy pastimes and less on slime. As the new soccer coach, Dad wants Alex to join the team. Alex is battling on multiple fronts--with his new friends at school and with his dad at home. It will be a sticky race to the finish to see who oozes out on top.
