Even though it is a bit nostalgic and will take most adult readers back to the '80s, it is still a great classroom read for 5th, and even 4th and 6th grade students. Issues of bullying and self-esteem are well-addressed in this "coming of age" story. A new student is trying to "fit in" this fifth grade class, while one girl in the class is working hard to accept the new student for who she is, and helps her "fit in" and belong within the girl's group of 5th grade friends. Several adventures occur throughout the story that help the girl welcome the new student into the class.
