Calvin Coconut Trouble Magnet by Graham Salisbury



Calvin Coconut lives near the beach in Kailua, Hawaii, with his mom and his little sister. All his friends live there, too.

Mom says: "You're the man of the house, Cal." Which means: Be responsible. Calvin tries, but fun—and trouble—follows him wherever he goes, even in the classroom, also known as Mr. Purdy's Fourth-Grade Boot Camp. And how can he be the man of the house after teenage Stella-from-Texas arrives to be the live-in babysitter and steps all over Calvin's turf?

    This book was cute. I love how they have really weird food. But the dried shrimp sounds really good. This probably is the funniest book on the planet!

    **** Calvin Coconut was funny. He learns how to be the man of the house. He has lots of responsibilities. Only Stella (a teenagegirl) come and take his room to sleep in for a while that really make him mad. To top that he has a bully that like stella and give shrimp as a present.

    Calvin is getting in trouble a lot lately, and now that school has started it makes it even worse.But even though he has an ex-navy teacher ( which is totally awesome!!!) he still can't stay out of trouble.
