Summary
**Miss Brooks is the wacky librarian who obviously loves books. She is very energetic and enthusiastic about books and reading. However, there is one student in particular who is not as thrilled about books as Miss Brooks is. After the announcement of book week, this student is less than thrilled. She now has to find a book that she loves and present it to the class. All of the other students in class have a favorite book and have no problem presenting. Will she be able to find a book that she loves? **
