The Name Game

Daphne’s diary begins on the first day of fourth grade.  Her teacher mispronounces her name and so begins a whole list of disasters which commonly befall fourth graders.  Daphne soon learns mistakes happen and anyone can make them.  Resorting to teasing is not a good solution.  Marissa Moss is known for her Amelia books which are in a notebook, handwritten style.  Daphne’s diary is written on pink pages and contains many drawings and doodles.  The plot is simple and The Name Game is a good transition from picture to beginning chapter books.
