      Junie B.'s class is putting on a play that keeps running into problems. Everyone keeps getting the flue and May wants to be the boss. Junie B. wants to take the spot light. Who knows what will happen?

      "Shipwrecked" is a great book to read to introduce Christopher Columbus and also about germs. If I were teaching a History class I would read this book allowed then let our class have a play just like one in the book. This book could help students be aware of germs and how to prevent not spreading them. Also, it could teach students the responsibilities of working as a team, being fair to others, and getting along with friends.

      This is another delightful story in the Junie B. Jones series. In this book, the first graders are going to put on a play for Columbus day at parent's night. Due to the constant competition between May and Junie, the play almost ends in disaster. They both collide into each other racing to be one of the first ships on the stage.

      In this adventure of Junie B., First Grader, Junie and her classmates learn all about viruses and how viruses can be spread to other people. During this time, the teacher announces that the class will be doing a play for Parent's night. The play will be about Christopher Columbus and the student who can research the most facts about Columbus will get first choice of parts. Junie B., of course, gets the most facts and selects the role of the ship, the Pinta, because the Pinta is the fastest! The evening of the play arrives and so does trouble. When Junie's arch rival, May, begins to move ahead of her on the stage, a little shoving match begins resulting in both girls crashing to the stage floor.

      Junie B. Jones is competing with May constantly- and when they are going to do a Columbus Day play, she and May argue about who is the better ship. Their arguments last all the way through the play- when their ships crash as they compete to get there fastest. The play is ruined, and Junie B. learns her lesson (mostly).

      Junie B., First Grader, Shipwrecked by Barbara Park is the 23rd Junie B. Jones book. When my oldest was in kindergarten, he and I would read this series together. Since he's moved onto longer books, I haven't really given the series much thought. Then the recent death of Barbara Park, and my youngest receiving Shipwrecked as a hand-me-down, changed that.Junie B. and her classmates are learning about Christopher Columbus in class. Mr. Scary decides to use the upcoming Columbus Day as an excuse to put on a class play. The children have to write the play, decide on their parts, and design the set and costumes.As is the shtick, Junie's enthusiasm gets in the way. She wants to be the fastest ship and she wants to be the star of the show. As it seems Mr. Scary is incapable of maintaining order in his classroom, there's a lot of trouble with setting up the play, and the play itself is a bit of a flop because Junie can't behave or control her urges.But Junie here is only half of the reason behind my lukewarm reception. The other is Columbus. When I was Junie's age, my school most certainly did make a big deal out of Columbus and the many other white, European or early American explorers who "discovered" bits and pieces of the "new" world.Of course, that's all Eurocentric hogwash. Yes, Columbus's journey set into motion a whole series of events that forever changed the Western Hemisphere. But as much as I love my country and my home in California, it would be idiotic to say Columbus was universally a hero.I'm not sure the Junie B. books with their situational comedy have the wiggle room to cover complex topics. But there seems to be a book for every holiday on the school calendar. These books are best when they cover simple things.

      I really liked this chapter book. In my opinion, Shipwrecked is one of the best books in the Junie B., First Grader series. Barbara Park used many techniques to make this story cute, personal, and relatable. For example, the story is told from Junie B.’s point of view. Junie B. is a quirky, rambunctious first grade girl who wants to be the star in the class play, Christopher Columbus. The language Park used to write this text is very unique because it does not follow the grammar rules of Standard English. The story is written in the colloquial speech of a first grader, which offers not only a more personal relationship with the main character, but it also makes the story fun to read. This casual language is exemplified in the journal entries Junie B. writes in school: “I am going to say, Land! Land! We landed on Land! Only bad news. On account of Herbert is land. And today Herbert got sick with the virus. And so NOW what am I supposed to do? Just sail around and around the whole livelong day? Without Land, explorers are nothing.” Another reason I like this book is because of the characters. Junie B., and her classroom nemesis, May, are very well-developed characters that represent the average first grader very well. Some of the other characters, like Sheldon, Jos, and Mr. Scary are also very believable, relatable characters in the story, and the amount of vivid personality Barbara Park gave her characters made reading the book so enjoyable. Additionally, the plot included discussion of conflict that would be relevant to the target audience, (K-2nd grade), and I also felt the plot was paced well for such a small chapter book, and I found myself very engaged while reading it. The final feature of “Shipwrecked” that I found very likeable is that since it is a transitional chapter book, it does include a few illustrations. The illustrations are sketched in pencil, with no color, but the drawings are detailed. Each picture, like the one of Junie B. high-fiving her classmate Jose for having gathered the same number of facts, fits the written text perfectly and provides a small glimpse of how Barbara Park and Denise Brunkus visualize Junie B. Jones and her classmates. The teacher in the story, Mr. Scary, provides an insight into the main idea of the story: “This play is not about stars or winners. It’s about teamwork.” The big idea of this book is that not everything is a race, and sometimes it is better to work as a team.

      Columbus Day is fast approaching and Junie B. Jones’ first grade class is preparing a play. However, problems keep arising. Students in the class keep getting sick and Junie’s classmate, May, is trying to take over the show. In this humorous, engaging story in the Junie B. Jones series, Barbara Park presents a picture of school life that young readers will be able to relate to and enjoy. She also sprinkles quite a few facts throughout the book about Christopher Columbus and his sailing to America as well as about how to stay healthy when classmates are sick. The large font, short sentences, brief chapters, and occasional illustrations make this book appropriate for young readers just transitioning to chapter books. Like the other books in the Junie B. Jones series, this book is written from Junie’s perspective and includes some examples of incorrect grammar, which parents and teachers may look down upon. However, it would be helpful for young elementary school students to read on their own or as a class to learn about Christopher Columbus, germs, and teamwork. This book is recommended for libraries that carry other books in this series and for Junie B. Jones fans.

      As a parent, I don’t especially like Junie B. Jones. She’s obnoxious, has poor grammar, and uses words like stupid – a bad word in our house. These are all the same reasons my first grader loves her! He’s a bit of a reluctant reader so if Junie B. gets him excited about reading, then I’m willing to tolerate her.Shipwrecked sneaks in quite a few facts about Christopher Columbus and his voyage to America. Children won’t have any idea that they are actually learning because the story is entertaining and funny. Since this book is for first graders, it doesn’t go into the ethical issues associated with Columbus’s journey, like imperialism and genocide. It actually doesn’t say anything about what happened after Columbus landed – the focus is entirely on the voyage.If your child is a Junie B. Jones fan, he or she will definitely enjoy this book.
