Paperback. Condition: Good. Edwards, Michelle (illustrator). Pa Lia Vang's first day at Jackson Magnet, her new school, isn't going so well. Her older brother Tou Ger promised to walk her to the door, but he dashes off when she stops to tie her shoes. She doesn't know anyone. Standing alone on the playground, she feels like a tiny minnow in a giant ocean. She can't find her second-grade classroom. And then she gets the only person who's been nice to her into trouble. Matthew Stern knocks her down on the steep stairs, but cheerful Calliope James helps her up and leads her to room 201. Eager to thank Calliope and win over her pal Howie, Pa Lia sketches funny cartoon mice on notebook paper during math. But passing notes across the aisle only brings strict Mrs. Fennessey marching over. Will Pa Lia ever fit in? In this first chapter book of the Jackson Friends series, Michelle Edwards explores with humor and sensitivity the anxieties children often face in a new situation. School Drama: Short chapters capture room 201 in full swing, from morning blackboard problems to the sudden chime of the recess bell. Making Friends: Winning over Howardina Geraldina Paulina Maxina Gardenia Smith is no easy task, especially when a shared cookie sparks a misunderstanding during class. Kindness Books for Children: Small gestures of compassion, like passing a sweet treat, shine through Pa Lia's rocky morning. Also by This Author: Stinky Stern Forever. Seller Inventory # 00071885071
