Bookroo's summary

Stuart is an eight-year-old with a big imagination and even bigger worries about his first day of third grade. From getting stuck in the bathroom to wearing embarrassing clothes, his mind races with 'what ifs.' As he navigates this make-or-break day, Stuart wonders if his trusty cape might be the key to making friends and conquering his fears. Will he find the courage to embrace his unique self, or will his worries get the best of him? Dive into Stuart's world and discover the unexpected adventures of a young worrier.

From the publisher

This hilarious sequel to STUART’S CAPE is a witty look at an eight-year-old worrier’s first day of third grade. Now in paperback! The first day of school is here, and Stuart is worried. What if he gets stuck in the boys’ bathroom? What if he doesn’t have anything to show for show and tell? Worst of all, what if his mother really makes him wear those green plaid pants and a shirt with little cowboys on it? Doesn’t she know that on a make-friends-or-else kind of day like this what Stuart really needs to wear is his cape?
