Jo Jo Makoons: The Super-Scary Sleepover

There''s no "brave" without "afraid"! Jo Jo is back to face her fears, in her own special way, in the fifth book in the beloved Jo Jo Makoons chapter book series. Spunky Ojibwe first-grader Jo Jo Makoons knows a lot about bravery and boldness. Her cat, Mimi, is very brave when she tries new foods, and Teacher is very bold when he wears his ugly ties to school. When Jo Jo is invited to her very first friend sleepover, it''s her turn to be courageous! Only she''s not quite sure how. Especially when scary puppets and dolls hide around every corner... Full of spooky fun and after-school mischief, Jo Jo Makoons celebrates an Ojibwe girl with a big heart who finds her courage through the people she loves. The first book in the acclaimed Jo Jo Makoons series was an American Indian Youth Literature Award Honor Book; a best book of the year from Kirkus Reviews , School Library Journal , American Indians in Children''s Literature, and the Chicago Public Library; a Charlotte Huck Award Honor Book; and a Cooperative Children''s Book Center CCBC Choices selection.
