Buddy is ready for a smooth second grade year with his best friend by his side. But when Bea arrives, everything changes. Her fast-talking, quirky ways leave Buddy's head spinning—and his hair full of mayonnaise. As they navigate the ups and downs of classroom life, can this unlikely duo find a way to get along? Dive into a hilarious adventure where friendship is tested and unexpected bonds are formed. Will Buddy and Bea learn to embrace their differences and become friends?

From the publisher

A laugh-out-loud illustrated chapter book series celebrating the roller coaster highs and lows of life in a second grade classroom. Buddy has a good feeling about second grade. He knows where to go, his best friend is in his class, and he’s ready for a great year. And then Bea shows up–new, tardy, and showing off brand new stitches. Buddy was not expecting Bea. Bea’s fast talking and upside-down thinking leave Buddy feeling buzzy–and with his hair full of mayonnaise. How will he and Bea ever figure out how to get along in the same classroom community? This funny and fast-paced series stars a hilariously unlikely buddy duo, making it irresistible to chapter book readers.
