Age range 5 to 9The third title in the collection that began with USBBY Outstanding International Book Slug Days. Lauren, a third-grade student who has Autism Spectrum Disorder, takes on the challenges of sharing her best friend and persevering when a classmate mocks her bicycle' s training wheels. Irma is Lauren' s best friend. Irma knows all the strategies Lauren uses when her Autism Spectrum Disorder makes it hard to "go with the flow. " Lauren helps Irma learn English words and understand unfamiliar customs. So why does Irma suddenly want to introduce Lauren to her mountain-biking, litter-dropping neighbour Jonas? Why is Irma calling Jonas her friend? As if sharing Irma weren' t bad enough, Lauren also has an alarming new problem at school. Their teacher has announced a mountain biking day when the students will learn to ride their bikes on an obstacle course. But Lauren still uses training wheels. She just can' t face the teasing she will get when her classmates see them. She isn' t brave like Irma. She can' t go with the flow like Dad. How can she possibly face this challenge?
Praise for Duck Days2020 Junior Library Guild selection"Duck Days is a heart-warming chapter book for early readers. . . . Even if your young reader doesn' t have the same mountains to climb as Lauren, Duck Days and the other books in the series, are a good choice. "-Getting Kids Reading
