One Mixed-Up Night by Catherine Newman

Interest Level: 3-6
Reading Level: 5.5
Lexile: 810L
Genre: Realistic Fiction


Frankie and Walter aren’t really running away. Just like the kids in their favorite book, they are running to somewhere. Specifically, a massive furniture store. They’ve been obsessed with the Ikea catalog for years. So they make a plan, pack their backpacks, give their parents the sleepover switcheroo . . . and they’re in. All they want is one night all on their own, with no grown-ups or little brothers. One night of couch jumping, pillow forts, and unlimited soda refills. One night of surprises and twinkle lights and secrets they have been keeping—and waiting to share. One unforgettable night in Ikea.

This is a cute story with a serious message. I think that it would appeal more to 3rd through 6th graders.
