Out of Patience

The tiny town of Patience, Kansas, is so small, that every kid in town is on the baseball team - all 9 of them. Jake longs for excitement and adventure, and vows he will be the first young man of the Waters family to finally get out of Patience. When his father, a plumber, announces that he wants to put Patience on the map by opening the American Toilet Museum, Jake can't get of Patience fast enough.

    Mrs. Arnold read this book to her reading class. It is funny and realistic. Can you imagine a kid who has to deal with his father's wild dream about opening a museum dedicated to toilets and plungers. Sure, we wouldn't want to be without them in our lives, but who wants to look at a museum full of them?
