Angleberger, T., & Books, L. (2014). Princess Labelmaker to the rescue! (Unabridged. ed.). Prince Frederick, MD: Recorded Books. Part of the series from Oragami Yoda, this book is the fifth novel for Angleberger. Illustrated through the artistic and very fun representations of the book, the plot revolves around a plan to help save the electives at the McAuarrie Middle School. Together the children have formed a group called Rebel Alliance to oppose the plan, which was named ironically, “Fun Time.” Moreover, the book has a direct reference to Star Wars, making the characters more entertaining for the reader. Together, they fight against several students, defending their classmates against bullying and standing up for what education should be about. Taking aways what students love in school, would not have been a great ending for the Rebel Alliance. This book is a perfect example of how students feel with standardized state tests. Often teachers assume students do not think anything of all the testing that is being done in class. However, through this book, teachers can create the perfect opportunity to discuss their thoughts on testing and include other administrators such as the principal and assistant principal. Similar books include Diary of Wimpy Kid series.  Criteria: The author delivers a very unique style of book that contains a message (theme) in a very comical and interesting style of writing, comical.
