About BC Books Online
BC Books Online was created for anyone interested in BC-published books, and with librarians especially in mind. We'd like to make it easy for library staff to learn about books from BC publishers - both new releases and backlist titles - so you can inform your patrons and keep your collections up to date.
Our site features print books and ebooks - both new releases and backlist titles - all of which are available to order through regular trade channels. Browse our subject categories to find books of interest or create and export lists by category to cross-reference with your library's current collection.
A quick tip: When reviewing the "Browse by Category" listings, please note that these are based on standardized BISAC Subject Codes supplied by the books' publishers. You will find additional selections, grouped by theme or region, in our "BC Reading Lists."
Description
Seven-year-old Bruno is back and tackling problems with his trademark originality.
He defeats hiccups. He trades his mother for a new hat. He skillfully avoids math. And thanks to his special Flutter Kick, he easily advances to the next level—in swimming and in life! Bruno is ready for any challenge as he learns all there is to know about being a boy.
The epub edition of this title is fully accessible.
Contributor Notes
In Bruno for Real, the sequel to I, Bruno, award-winning author Caroline Adderson shares more of Bruno’s really real adventures. Caroline lives in Vancouver, British Columbia, with her husband and the son who lied to her when he said he’d always be seven.

Editorial Reviews
"With a teacher who turns any conversation into a math lesson, Bruno tackles daily life with a great sense of humor and originality. Cartoonish pen and ink drawing complement the silly tone and create an appealing transitional chapter book."
— Puget Sound Council for Review of Children's Media
"Bruno has so much personality he almost leaps off the page, and the energy of the book marches its main character. Bruno's hijinks are entertaining and true to life, with every chapter acting as a fast-paced, self-contained story...Highly recommended."
— Resource Links
"Young readers will enjoy Bruno's funny stories, short chapters and cartoon illustrations."
— Southwestern Ohio Young Adult Materials Review Group (SOYAMRG)
