1. I wish this could have been titles The Button War but Avi snagged that. 2. This is the strongest book by Clements I have read in a while - I really liked it.
When Grace went to visit her grandfather over the summer they visited many places but their visit to the old mill he had just bought was really cool. While there Grace found boxes of buttons. Her grandfather agreed to ship them to her - a whole pallet. Soon after she got them she took some to show at school and realized that they weren't all just gray plain buttons but there were all shapes, sizes, and ages. When she decides to give some away at lunch she unknowingly starts a fad. While cool at first after a while it threatens her friendship with Ellie and could even get her in trouble.
A great middle school read.
