Regarding the Fountain by Kate Klise

The middle school in Dry Creek needs a new drinking fountain.  The esteemed fountain designer Florence Waters agrees to build them a new drinking fountain, but only if the children give their input.  So begins a year of letters between Flo, the fifth grade students of Dry Creek, their teacher, their principal and others.

This was a wonderfully fun story to read.  Every child will wish they were part of the fifth grade class who gets to become great friends with Flo.  The best part, this is the first book in a series.
