How to Be Cool in the Third Grade
Description
Robbie York has a plan. This year, he's finally going to crack the code of elementary school coolness. That means no more teddy bear T-shirts, no more being called “Bobby” by his mom in front of everyone, and definitely no more being picked on by bullies like Bo Haney.
Robbie’s guide to being cool includes grown-up clothes, a new attitude, and acting like nothing bothers him. But as the school year unfolds, he discovers that being “cool” isn't just about how you look—it's about being confident, kind, and true to yourself.
