It's the start of the school year, and nothing feels right to Justin. He didn't get the teacher he wanted, he's not in the same class as his best friend, and his little sister, Elizabeth, is starting kindergarten at his school. Elizabeth doesn't seem nervous at all. Justin is very nervous about third grade. And to top it off, he's lost his favorite stuffed animal, but he can't tell anyone, because technically he's too old to still have stuffed animals. Right?

Here is third grade in all its complicated glory―the friendships, the fears, and the advanced math. Acclaimed author Rachel Vail captures third grade with a perfect pitch, and Matthew Cordell's line art is both humorous and touching. As Justin bravely tries to step out of his shell, he will step into readers' hearts.

Justin is in the beginning of a new school year and nothing seems right. He didn’t get the teacher he wanted, he’s not in the same class as his best friend. Justin is very nervous about third grade. And to top it off, he’s lost his favorite stuffed animal, but he couldn't tell anyone.

This is a book about a boy named Justin and his perspective of his 3rd grade school year. Justin is a worrywart kid, so he gets the nickname Justin Case.

This book is pretty self-explanatory. Justin hates school, drool, etc. But after he knows that he has to go back, what will he do if anything, to live through the horrible world of civilization? Read the book to find out!!

This book is about a boy in third grade who didn't get the teacher he wanted, isn't in the same class as all his friends, and he lost his favorite stuffed animal to top it off (he couldn't tell anyone because he's a little too old for stuffed animals though). But in the end he gets through it all.
