Ava Lin’s quest to earn the most kindness tickets in her first-grade class—and claim a coveted reward—leads to unanticipated results in this second chapter book in Vicky Fang’s funny and heartfelt series. Ava Lin is six and a half years old, and this year she’s in first grade. She’s really good at making things and eating snacks and making lists. But what she really wants to be good at is earning enough tickets to fill her kindness bucket. In Ava’s class, if you do something kind for someone, that person puts a ticket in your bucket, and whoever has the most tickets by the end of the week gets to choose a prize. Ava really wants to choose the narwhal eraser—she NEEDS that eraser—so she has to be sure she’s the best bucket filler of the week, no matter what. But if you’re doing nice things just so you can pile up tickets, is that the same as being kind to others? Especially if you manage to hurt your best friend’s feelings along the way? With graphic panels and charming black-and-white illustrations, Vicky Fang brings back a lovable, sometimes bumbling heroine who wins the prize for heart and humor.
