Reviews"This is a witty and fun story that will resonate with any child nervous about moving up a grade. Caregivers will find it particularly useful as a springboard to discuss school-related fears and anxieties with their children. Cordell's colorful cartoon illustrations make the topic seem less scary, and will appeal to youngsters. An excellent addition to library collections during the back-to-school season." -SLJ "A new look at an age-old fact: change is hard but maybe not as hard as what one might imagine." --Kirkus "Cordell's scraggly cartooning expertly channels the narrator's nervousness (and Tyler's sisters' mischievousness), and although Vernick ends on an encouraging note, she keeps the anxiety-fueled jokes coming until nearly the last page." --Publishers Weekly, "A new look at an age-old fact: change is hard but maybe not as hard as what one might imagine." --Kirkus, "Funny and relatable, this book book will make kids laugh out loud." --The Washington Post "A new look at an age-old fact: change is hard but maybe not as hard as what one might imagine." --Kirkus "Cordell's scraggly cartooning expertly channels the narrator's nervousness (and Tyler's sisters' mischievousness), and although Vernick ends on an encouraging note, she keeps the anxiety-fueled jokes coming until nearly the last page." --Publishers Weekly "Vernick introduces a problem familiar to a certain personality type ("I wish everything could just stay the way it was") and allows readers to recognize, and maybe even laugh at, themselves."-- Horn Book " Vernick gives a deft twist of humor to real anxieties about competence, growth, and change, and the sibling dynamic is both authentic and funny... Audiences will be tickled by the narrator's attempted evasion, and they may enjoy coming up with some school whoppers of their own." --Bulletin, "This is a witty and fun story that will resonate with any child nervous about moving up a grade.

SynopsisSecond grade? Pfff! No, thanks. The comically anxious narrator in this book thought that first grade had its problems, but overall it was pretty awesome. He'll take grade one over grade two any day, thank you very much! Especially because he and Tyler, his best friend, will not be in the same class this school year. On top of that, Tyler's sisters have been feeding the boys a steady stream of rumors about the horrors of second grade. Luckily they catch on that just maybe some of those stories are not one hundred percent true. Could it be that second grade is not so bad? Find out in this laugh-out-loud story that has more than its fair share of heart., Second grade? Pfff No, thanks.
