It's tough being the new kid.
Gavin had lots of friends at his old school, but the kids at Carver Elementary don't even know that he's pretty good at skateboarding, or how awesome he is at soccer.
And when his classmate Richard comes over and the boys end up in trouble, not only does Gavin risk losing his one new friend, he has to take care of his great-aunt Myrtle's horrible little dog as punishment.
To make matters worse, Gavin seems to have attracted the attention of the school bully. Will he be able to avoid getting pounded at the skate park? And how is he ever going to prove he's cool with a yappy little Pomeranian wearing a pink bow at his side?
English returns to Carver Elementary, the setting of her Nikka and Deja books, in this strong kickoff to her Carver Chronicles series. Freeman's upbeat spot illustrations and English's accessible storytelling target the book to emerging independent readers. (Publishers Weekly)
- The Carver Chronicles: Kick off the beloved, illustrated early chapter book series about friendship, family, and funny school adventures.
- New Kid at School: Gavin just wants to fit in and show everyone he's a great skateboarder. But being the new kid is way harder than it looks.
- Making New Friends: When a hangout with his first new friend, Richard, ends in disaster, Gavin finds himself in a world of trouble that puts their budding friendship to the test.
- Dealing with Bullies: As if a yappy dog with a pink bow isn't bad enough, Gavin also has to worry about the school bully waiting for him at the skate park.
- Funny Animal Antics: A hilarious punishment leads to Gavin being stuck with Carlotta, his great-aunt's ridiculous and ridiculously misbehaved Pomeranian.
