Sing a Song of Tuna Fish: A Memoir of My Fifth-Grade Year

Like any fifth grader, Esm Raji Codell spends her days at her school, in her neighborhood, and with her family. But this small world provides rich material for these hilarious, moving, and engrossing stories. Esm tells us about the night she and her mother became egg vigilantes against an illegally parked car; her freewheeling first school, where kids sat on sofas instead of at desks and could choose disco dancing instead of math; and her dangerous neighborhood, which her father made seem friendly and wondrous. In this childhood memoir, Esm demonstrates her gift for making the ordinary extraordinary, and the unusual familiar.Pham, LeUyen is the author of 'Sing a Song of Tuna Fish: A Memoir of My Fifth-Grade Year', published 2006 under ISBN 9780786836529 and ISBN 0786836520.
