Punished by David Lubar



Logan and his friend Benedict are in the public library when Logan runs into (literally) a very unusual man. Logan soon learns what the unusual man means when he "punishes" Logan. Logan is speaking in only puns. His little sister thinks he is funny, his parents believe he is going through a phase, and his friends and teacher find him annoying. In order to return to normal Logan must complete some "word" tasks. This book does a great job of explaining words like palindromes, oxymorons, and anagrams. Some of the humor of the book may be lost if being read aloud.

Grade level: 3rd-5th
