    About this ebook

    I have a flower name . . . but it is long and hard to spell and terrible. I'll never tell anyone what it is. Mom and Dad sometimes call me by my real name when I'm in big trouble, but otherwise I'm just called Bean.

    Bean Gibson is so excited about the first day of third grade, not even her m-e-a-n mean older sisters, Rose and Gardenia, can bring her down.

    But Bean's year gets off to a bad start—her best friend, Carla, has made a new best friend, and Bean has to begin music lessons. Bean picks the violin (the cello is too big) and tries to find new friends, but music lessons are a lot of work, Goody Two-Shoes Gabrielle is prissy, and Terrible Tanisha is a bully. And Bean's mom is always at work. Bean h-a-t-e-s hates third grade!

    Lone Bean is an entertaining read about spunky Bean Gibson and how she learns what it means to be a good friend. And that it's possible to have more than one.

      The Dance Champion of Bapsfontein

      Aug 27, 2018

      Bapsfontein is a peculiar place. In the era before highways, the route we’d take to Pretoria from Springs, where I grew up, was always via Bapsfontein. There are two main reasons this small town rooted itself in my consciousness. First, it–and specif

      What I liked about this book: This was a delightful story about the joys and perils of third grade. Fans of Sarah Pennypacker’s Clementine, Beverly Cleary’s Ramona and Megan McDonald’s Judy Moody will love Bean Gibson. Lone Bean is a great classroom read aloud. I can’t wait to share this book with my third grade teachers so they can share it with their students. As a parent and an educator, I enjoyed how Bean learned from her escapades. Ross paints a wonderfully entertaining picture of a precocious and very likable third grader. Bean does learn from her mistakes, but Ross doesn’t beat the reader over the head with a message about consequences. Young readers will identify with Bean and her challenges of being the youngest sister and dealing with a best friend who doesn’t want to be her best friend anymore.I don’t know if this will be a series. I hope so. I would love to read more about Bean’s adventures.If you would like to learn more about Chudney Ross visit her website.What I didn’t like about the book: This book is a real winner. I loved it all.Release date: June 26, 2012Recommended for: 3rd – 5th grades
