Charlie
is a bit worried about starting school this year since he was assigned to a
teacher that he didn't want. He had trouble with her in the past, accidentally hitting her with his shoe, so she probably already has it out for him. Worse
yet, he has heard rumors about how strict she is, especially in organization –his
worst fault. But his parents won’t switch him because this teacher won teacher of the
year! Can Charlie survive fourth grade?
This
book has amazing artwork and an appealing cover. I love the sticky situations
that Charlie finds himself in by mistake. I think this book is a pretty sneaky
way to for students to learn about keeping an open mind and understanding that
changing is possible all while being entertained by a very easy character for boys to relate to.
