Elle Campbell Wins Their Weekend, by Ben Kahn
Each Friday that school is in session, I share the link to a read-aloud preview of a book from SRCSA library. The “First-chapter Friday” selection for Jan. 24, 2025 is Elle Campbell Wins Their Weekend, by Ben Kahn.
Elle Campbell is thrilled to learn that their hero, non-binary icon Nuri Grena, is coming to town for a book signing on Saturday. Elle’s never been happier since they came out as non-binary, but they have a lot of questions — questions only Nuri can answer. But Elle’s dreams are dashed when an altercation with a surly substitute teacher lands them in Saturday detention. Elle is ready to give up until their two best friends come up with a plan to bust them out of school. A plan so outrageous, it just might work.
