These books were my favorite in third grade and sort of inspired me to become a writer so... yeah they're all getting five stars.

Loved it!! Totally sympathetic to Lucas and his situation and loved Mrs. Hockaday. And I learned a new word:Obstreperous

I read this in Spanish to help improve my language skills. The title in Spanish is El Payaso de la Clase.
Lucas Cott is a third grader with some impulse control issues. He is smart, but often gets in trouble at school for disrupting the class. He is jealous of the star student, Cricket, who always gets the right answers. Eventually, Lucas and Cricket discover some common ground and Lucas learns how to use his talents to contribute rather than to disrupt.
Cute story and it only took me a month and a half to get through it in Spanish!

I read this book a lot as a kid, and just stumbled across it at a used bookstore. Of course I couldn't resist picking up a copy! I re-read it quickly, but loved it just as much as I used to. I can't wait for my son to read it - I think he'll like Lucas clowning around in school!
