There are five facts you should know about Oliver Olson’s parents:
1). They worry about him constantly.
2). They hover over him when he does his homework.
3). They would never let him walk on the moon.
4). They only let him eat super healthy snacks. No junk food.
5). They will not let him go to a class sleepover that he really wants to go to.
There are many facts you should know about Oliver himself, but I’m only to give you 3.
1). Oliver was very sick when he was a little kid.
2). Oliver is a really nice and very smart third grader.
3). Oliver has to make a diaroma of the solar system at home, and his parents are doing it for him, against his will.
The last fact I’m going to tell you is the title of this book: How Oliver Olson Changed the World. Wait a minute? He changed the world? With parents micro-managing him? Yep, you’re just going to have to read it.
How Oliver Olson Changed the World by Claudia Mills; pictures by Heather Maione. 104 p. New York: Farrar, Straus, Giroux. Booktalk to elementary, intermediate grades. Virginia Readers’ Choice for 2011-2012.
