This school year means being teased by his old friends while he's stuck facing the same old teacher in the same old classroom, because he was held back. He even has to take a special reading class. And he is still constantly getting into trouble. Will Beast ever like school? Will things turn around for him? Find out by reading this book!

This is actually a really good book to read with my students that are in special education. They seem to enjoy it!

I remember loving the Polk Street School books when I was in 2nd or so grade. I hope one of my reading groups will love them too.

I love-love-love this series. The characters are not perfect (at times, they act in ways that would cause Internet mayhem today), but I just love the homey, realistic atmosphere, whether they're fudging a candy corn contest or screaming endlessly about looseleaf. I didn't enjoy school all that much--the Polk Street kids remind me of things I did enjoy. And things I'm glad to be rid of, like Miller The Killer!
