Rock collecting opens a path to connection

After her best friend moves away, Jada Jones finds comfort in searching for rocks. A classroom project on rocks and minerals gives her a chance to put that interest to work, but a difficult partnership complicates both the project and her hopes of making a new friend. Science, friendship, and the challenges of working with someone who disagrees are woven together in this early chapter-book story. Short chapters and frequent two-color illustrations provide a visual bridge for children moving from leveled readers toward chapter books.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children transitioning from leveled readers to chapter books
  • Young readers interested in rocks, minerals, and science
  • Readers who enjoy stories about friendship and classroom projects

Book overview

Fans of Princess Posey and Ivy and Bean will enjoy engaging with science-loving Jada Jones in this easy-to-read chapter book.

When Jada Jones's best friend moves away, school feels like the last place she wants to be. She'd much rather wander outside looking for cool rocks to add to her collection, since finding rocks is much easier than finding friends. So when Jada's teacher announces a class project on rocks and minerals, Jada finally feels like she's in her element. The only problem: one of her teammates doesn't seem to like any of Jada's ideas. She doesn't seem to like Jada all that much, either. Can Jada figure out a way to make a winning science project and a new friend?

The early chapter book bridges between leveled readers and chapter books for fluent readers adjusting to the chapter book format. At about 5,000 words, with short chapters and two-color art on almost every page, it will appeal to this unique reader. The two-color art throughout will help readers transition from the familiar four-color art of leveled readers and ease them into black-and-white chapter books.
