A Whole New Ballgame by Phil Bildner

4.0

Fifth grade starts much differently than Rip and Red had expected. They have a new teacher, Mr. Acevedo, who does things his own way, and their classroom set up is like nothing they have seen before. Plus the fifth grade basketball program, which both boys have been looking forward to is now structured differently as well. But change isn't necessarily bad, as they learn through a series of new projects and experiences. This is a fun book to start off the school year, especially for basketball lovers. (Note: There is a heavy anti-testing bias.) Recommended for grades 3-5.
