Lance Sanderson, Fourth Grader

En savoir plus sur le livre

It is the early 1980s and Lance Sanderson is beginning fourth grade in Granger, Washington. Compared to his old home near Seattle, Granger is a strange place of farms, desert, and baptists. But after two years, Lance is no longer the new boy. He has friends, a church, and favorite places. But now Granger has another new kid, a boy named Simon. And Simon needs a friend. Lance writes about everything: holidays, Native Americans, pastors, and grandparents. He writes how his brother grinds his teeth and why he thinks his dad should have been a professional baseball player. He writes about escaping justice during the "Pine Cone War" but finding trouble at Christmas. He writes about how a birthday present trapped him at his desk. And he tells of the small adventures that turn strangers into family.
