The Baddest Kid in Sixth Grade

The first day of middle school is hard. Even harder is the first day of middle school where your two older brothers are known as troublemakers. Nick Pearson just wants to make friends and have them remember his name; Nick, not Nate. The trouble is that at Woodson Middle School everyone already knows his brothers, Dan and Rob Pearson. As soon as the teachers find out he's a Pearson they go from nice to nasty. By lunchtime, 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 to clear his name and risk losing his new friends. He decides to keep a low profile and makes it home without causing anymore trouble. Now the entire school knows him as the baddest kid in sixth grade, at least for now.The Baddest Kid in Sixth Grade aids in literacy by using repetition and breaking down multi-syllable words to make pronunciation and spelling easier for young readers.
