38 Weeks Till Summer Vacation

by Mona Kerby

Overview

Fourth grade in Fort Worth, Texas may not be as bad as Nora Jean expects. Something is always happening in Mrs. Carter's class. Skinny Nora Jean, chubby Rosalie, the oh-so-perfect Thomasina, Chip, Rex, and the dreaded Jimmy Lee keep on their toes with a snake in the girls' bathroom, the fall spook house, and a pizza party in the library.
