Evie and the Volunteers, After-School Program — Marcy Blesy

Over 10000 books sold in the series!I'm ten years old, and this is my new favorite series!Learning Life Lessons from ExperienceAs an elementary teacher, I enjoyed Evie and the Volunteers—Animal Shelter, Book I immensely! Evie speaks as an authentic child with real-life problems--some only perceived as a tween and others which are true to life—and children will easily relate to her winning character. As an Army brat myself, I LOVED that the heroine of this book is the daughter of a soldier, too. I can't think of any other children's book where that's the case. What I would have given for such a book when I was a young reader!  Join ten-year-old Evie and her friends as they volunteer all over town meeting lots of cool people and getting into just a little bit of trouble. There is no place left untouched by their presence, and what they get from the people they meet is greater than any amount of money.In this third book, Evie and her friends volunteer at an after-school program. Nothing can prepare them for the enthusiasm of the children they meet. Forced to deal with a difficult student, Evie learns that sometimes it's the worst-behaved child that needs the most understanding, even if it's hard to give. Book 1: Animal ShelterBook 2: Nursing HomeBook 3: After School ProgramBook 4: Food PantryBook 5: Public LibraryBook 6: HospitalBook 7: Military Care Packages
