Ten year old Aldo Zelnick, AKA Bacon Boy, journals the high and low points of his life in this sketchbook.  Written in a Wimpy Kid and Big Nate style, Aldo befriends Danny, a deaf student with a quick sense of humor and Bee, a home-schooled neighbor who takes a few classes at school.  He finds himself “dumbstruck” around the new art teacher as he adjusts to life as a fifth grader.  Many readers will identify with Aldo’s predicaments in this fourth book of the series.  Each book focuses vocabulary on a letter of the alphabet.  Other books in the series are: Artsy-Fartsy, Bogus, Cahoots, and Egghead, so far.  (Finicky, coming soon.)  Kemdra Spanjer’s black and white illustrations are a great match with Aldo’s quirky situations.  There is a large glossary in the back of the book, along with a map of Aldo’s neighborhood, a sign language alphabet, and notes about the author and illustrator.  The Aldo Zelnick website offers an A – Z audio dictionary.  This terrific series will be enjoyed by all readers and constantly in demand.
