I'm looking for an adventury sort of book for a new 3rd grader who probably doesn't read at the top level. She was given something called The Bathwater Gang and "didn't find [her] connection" with it. I was thinking of giving her a copy of Charlotte's Web but think that might be ahead of her skills and attention span.
