Extra Credit

Extra Credit by Andrew Clements
This is about a girl who is failing 6th grade and will not go onto 7th if she does not improve her school work and participate in a pen pal program with a student in another country. The pen pal project takes on a life of its own as people from both Afghanastan and the small town in Illinois begin to have problems with the communication.
I thought the book was good, it definitely was not Clements' best work. The ending fell flat for me.
