Bookroo's summary
Suds faces the challenge of becoming a Fourth Grade Rat, where toughness rules and tears are forbidden. As he struggles to fit in, his friend Joey tries to teach him the ropes. But every attempt to act tough backfires. Will Suds learn to embrace his new role, or will he remain the odd one out in a world where fitting in means leaving kindness behind? Discover the trials of friendship and identity in this engaging tale of growing up.
From the publisher
Last year Suds was a Third Grade Angel, but now… it’s time to be a Fourth Grade Rat!Fourth graders are tough. They aren’t afraid of spiders. They say no to their moms. They push first graders off the swings. And they never, ever cry.Suds knows that now he’s in fourth grade, he’s supposed to be a rat. But whenever he tries to act like one, something goes wrong. Can Suds’s friend Joey teach him to toughen up… or will Suds remain a fourth grade wimp? Now with brand-new illustrations, this sequel to Jerry Spinelli’s THIRD GRADE ANGELS is a classic story of fitting in (or not) and friendship.
