Bookroo's summary

Arthur and his friends are puzzled by Norbert, the new kid who stands out with his formal attire and unusual lunch habits. But when Norbert solves a tough math problem and shines on the soccer field, perceptions shift. What else might this intriguing newcomer reveal?

From the publisher

Arthur and his friends aren’t sure of what to make of Norbert, the new kid in their class. He wears a jacket and tie, sits at the fourth graders’ table in the lunchroom, and buys two slices of pizza for lunch. But when Norbert helps Francine answer a difficult math problem and scores two soccer goals during recess, Arthur and his friends learn that the new boy at school is different from what they first thought.
