About this title

Synopsis

FOR USE IN SCHOOLS AND LIBRARIES ONLY. Held back for a year in 2nd-grade, Richard can't seem to help getting into trouble, until he gets really interested in reading and helps his class in a special way.

From the Publisher

It's September again.

What does it mean for Richard "Beast" Best to be left back? It means being teased by his old friends while he's stuck facing the same old teacher in the same old classroom. He even has to take a special reading class with "babies" like Emily Arrow and Matthew Jackson. And just like last year, he can't help getting into trouble.

But with the help of Mrs. Paris, the reading teacher, Beast starts to enjoy reading and just might find a way to help the second grade win the school banner for best class.
