Bookroo's summary

Ben thrives on routine, relishing the predictability of his school days. But when a substitute teacher shakes up his world, Ben's comfort zone is threatened. As he grapples with the unexpected changes, he begins to question his aversion to new experiences. Can Ben embrace the chaos and discover the joy in unpredictability? Dive into this heartwarming tale of growth and adaptability, where change might just be the best thing that ever happened to him.

From the publisher

Ben likes things the same way every day at school—he sits at the same table, eats the same lunch, and likes the daily class routine. But when his teacher leaves to have her baby and a substitute teacher comes and changes everything, Ben gets upset. He liked everything the way it was before! But soon Ben starts to think differently about change and realizes that doing things another way can be fun.
