Regarding the Fountain

by Kate Klise (1998)

Entertaining story, a 5th grade class and an eccentric fountain artist team up to defeat the water-hogging bad guys, told entirely in letters, postcards, memos, artwork, etc.  Great idea for students stuck on the whole writing thing -- break it down, tell a little at a time, consider the various viewpoints...

  1. I really like their books. Letters from Camp is one of my favorites. It's told in the same style.

Our student book reviewers would love to hear from you! Did you read this book too? Like it, love it, or left it? Are there similar books you think they might enjoy? What is your favorite book of all time?
Thank you.
