Synopsis
Five-year-old Elisa has an older brother and a new baby brother, but her elderly neighbor says the middle is the best, just like the filling in a sandwich.
In this beginning chapter book, Elisa, who also appears in such books as "Russell & Elisa," becomes the middle child when her parents bring home her new baby brother. Trying to take her new position of responsibility seriously, Elisa unfortunately has a lot of misadventures. How was she supposed to know that you don't clean the fish tank with soap and water or that Russell said he needs to "catch up on his homework" not that he needs ketchup on his homework? Illustrated with pencil drawings.

Publisher's Note
Elisa helps her brother Russell--with disastrous results--and now she is determined to find a way to make it up to him.
Elisa's always ready to play games with her older brother Russell. She even lets Russell decide which ones. And she tries to be helpful, too. But sometimes Elisa's helping out doesn't go exactly as planned—like when she helps Russell "ketchup" on his homework or gives his fish a bubble bath. Can she find a way to make it up to him? "Should delight kids who want to visit more with Russell's family." —Booklist

Industry reviews
K-Gr 3 This latest book featuring Elisa and Russell Michaels will be welcomed by friends of these contemporary, middle-class, New York City kids. The big news this time is the addition of a new baby to the family. Elisa really comes into her own as she tries hard to be a good sister to both of her brothers. Unfortunately, five-year-old girls don't always make the best choices. Fortunately, her misadventures lead to humor and to a good time for young readers. Each of the six chapters tells a complete story; this makes the book episodic, but also gives young readers a feeling of satisfaction when they finish each one. The writing is consistently lively and natural, with occasional challenging words thrown in appropriately. Hoban's charming pencil drawings appear throughout. The titles in this series can be read individually, but youngsters will enjoy watching the characters grow and mature from book to book. The mistakes Elisa makes are totally in character, and readers will gleefully keep a step ahead of her and predict the results. Hurwitz is successful at describing the sacrifices siblings make for one another, and the love and pride they share. Darcy Schild, Schwegler Elementary School, Lawrence, KS

About B-Logistics

B-Logistics began selling online in 2001 in partnership with several major public library systems that needed help managing large volumes of discarded materials. We chose the seller name Universal Athenaeum (depository of books and other materials for learning) to reflect that partnership, and we’re still proud to offer our services to hundreds of public, academic, school and special libraries all over the US and Canada (as well as a few publishers, retailers and wholesalers). By providing turnkey resale and recycling services of discarded books and media, we help libraries manage a difficult logistical challenge, generate positive PR, and earn funds for resources and programming.

Quality Standards

The books, CDs and DVDs we list for sale come from many sources, including public, academic and school libraries. We evaluate each item we list, and we strive to sell only items that are in GOOD or better condition, items that we would be happy to receive ourselves. You will notice in many cases that the library’s original ownership markings and other stamps, stickers and such are still in place. If you receive an item that is not in the stated condition, please notify us within 14 days of receiving the shipment so we can work out an acceptable resolution.

Great Service to Our Customers

We work hard to earn your confidence, and we want you to be 100% satisfied. When you order from B-Logistics, you’ll get your order fast. Most orders leave our warehouse the same day, and all orders leave our warehouse within two business days.

Great Service to Our Community

When you buy from B-Logistics, you make the world a better place! B-Logistics strives to be a good corporate citizen in everything we do, and your purchases support our good work. We provide turnkey service to our library and other liquidation partners so they have more time to provide much-needed resources to their patrons. We donate tens of thousands of books each year to non-profit literacy partners who bring books to needy recipients worldwide. In addition, we recycle hundreds of tons of unsalable books each year, providing an environmentally-friendly alternative to dumping books in landfills. Thank you for helping us do so much good with your purchase!
