Sam West thought he knew what it was like to feel alone in the world, until he became the sole survivor of a plane crash in the wilderness of Northern Ontario, Canada. Abandoned by his mother at a very young age and neglected by his alcoholic father, he was shuffled from foster home to foster home. At fifteen, Sam decides to search for his mother, but he finds something else entirely. After the plane crash, Sam finds strength, courage, and smarts to survive in an unforgiving wilderness with dangerous predators at every turn. He manages to outsmart them all, and with a miraculous chance encounter with another fellow survivor, begin a journey that will change and shape their lives forever.

On the first day of school, as soon as the teachers find out that Nick is another Pearson boy, they go from nice to nasty. By lunchtime, one missing yellow notebook, a brand new baseball cap, animals running around the hallway, and a flooded boys bathroom forces Nick into the spotlight. After telling the truth to his best friend, Chris, Nick begins to wonder if he should come clean to the principal and the rest of the school to clear his name or remain the baddest kid in sixth grade. The Baddest Kid in Sixth Grade encourages literacy by using multi-syllable words that are broken down phonetically with bold and un-­bold font. As young readers become familiar with the repetitive words their confidence grows.

The Baddest Kid in Sixth Grade curriculum and its supplemental guide foster students’ independent reading, proper pronunciation, contextual understanding, and correct spelling. Along with assessment questions that gauge literacy, educators will be able to determine student’s reading aptitude before and after the completion of the story. Each chapter features questions that engage and encourage the reader to utilize context clues to correctly answer questions.
