New Kid

Gah! Why did I wait so long to read this book???? I loved everything about it-the character growth, the illustrations, the warmth and humor. This is a perfect book for my 5th graders as they get ready to start middle school and become “the new kid.” I also loved the message of looking beneath the surface and really getting to know someone for who they are but also giving new situations a chance. Another addition for my classroom library.
