Synopsis:

Get ready for third grade with this funny, heartfelt story about figuring out who you are--one school day at a time!

Robbie York has a plan. This year, he's finally going to crack the code of elementary school coolness. That means no more teddy bear T-shirts, no more being called "Bobby" by his mom in front of everyone, and definitely no more being picked on by bullies like Bo Haney.

Robbie's guide to being cool includes grown-up clothes, a new attitude, and acting like nothing bothers him. But as the school year unfolds, he discovers that being "cool" isn't just about how you look--it's about being confident, kind, and true to yourself.
