    About this ebook

    Liz has a big class project to complete but how can she focus on it when her nosy new neighbor seems to be popping up everywhere? Liz must solve both problems in the nineteenth book of the Critter Club series.

    When a boy Liz’s age moves in next door, Liz hopes they might become friends. But right away Liz can tell the boy has no interest in being friendly. So why does he keep showing up everywhere she is? Plus, Liz has a big class project to complete—an animal habitat diorama—but she can’t think of anything to create and her nosy new neighbor isn’t helping!

    With easy-to-read language and illustrations on almost every page, The Critter Club chapter books are perfect for beginning readers!

    Liz and the Nosy Neighbor - Callie Barkley

    Chapter 1

    Art Is Everywhere

    Liz Jenkins opened her locker. She reached inside and unzipped her backpack.

    Her best friend Ellie Mitchell appeared at her side. Can I see how it turned out? Ellie asked.

    The whole class had just come from the art room. They had finished their cut-paper collages—a project they’d worked on for a few weeks. Liz was excited to take hers home.

    Liz unrolled her collage.

    Another Liz Jenkins masterpiece! Ellie said.

    Liz smiled. Aw, thanks, Ellie, she said. She asked to see Ellie’s art. It was ablaze with reds, oranges, and yellows. I love the colors! Liz exclaimed.

    Me too, Ellie agreed. But I wasn’t really thinking about the pattern. Yours is so planned out.

    Liz had put a lot of thought into the layout. She was going for a swirly, Starry Night look. Like Vincent Van Gogh, one of her favorite artists.

    Just then, their teacher, Mrs. Sienna, poked her head into the hallway. Come in and let’s get settled for science, she told them.

    So Liz and Ellie put their artwork in their lockers. Ellie, Liz whispered as they walked into class, did you give Mrs. Sienna your note?

    I almost forgot! Ellie pulled a piece of paper out of her pocket. I’ll do it now.

    Now everything was set. Liz knew that her other best friends, Marion Ballard and Amy Purvis, had handed in the notes their parents had written too. They were all coming home with Liz for a Friday night sleepover!

    The girls had a lot to talk about, like stocking up on supplies at The
