Reach for this book when your child is facing the social upheaval of a new school year, particularly if they have a 'summer friend' who seems to be acting differently in the presence of other kids. It is an ideal choice for the transition to third grade when social hierarchies and cliques often begin to solidify. The story follows the high energy Quinny and the cautious Hopper as they navigate a move to a new town and the pressure to fit into specific social boxes. It gently explores the anxiety of being left out and the courage required to be friends with someone who is considered 'uncool.' This chapter book is perfectly pitched for 7 to 10 year olds who are starting to realize that friendship is a choice you have to make every day, especially when the 'Third Grade Rules' tell you otherwise.
