No teach has ever liked Carter Avery, and he doesn't expect his next one will either, especially when she's been nicknamed by the students as the 'Owl.' Since Carter has a hard time sitting still and not blurting stuff out, he’s sure he’s in for rough times being sent to the principal’s office, but the Owl knows just how to handle Carter’s energy . . .
With a stellar cast of characters, young and old, Carter Avery's Tricky Fourth-Grade Year is an authentic story of life in and out of elementary school, an experience not soon forgotten that offers surprising truths about a student no teacher would wish for, and a teacher no student would want to be stuck with.
"A school story that’s full of heart." -- Kirkus Reviews
