Through moving prose and beautiful watercolors, a Coretta Scott King Award and Caldecott Medal–winning author-illustrator duo collaborate to tell the poignant tale of a spirited young girl who comes face to face with segregation in her southern town. There’s a place in this 1950s southern town where all are welcome, no matter what their skin color…and ’Tricia Ann knows exactly how to get there. To her, it’s someplace special and she’s bursting to go by herself. But when she catches the bus heading downtown, unlike the white passengers, she must sit in the back behind the Jim Crow sign and wonder why life’s so unfair. Still, for each hurtful sign seen and painful comment heard, there’s a friend around the corner reminding ’Tricia Ann that she’s not alone. And her grandmother’s words—“You are somebody, a human being—no better, no worse than anybody else in this world”—echo in her head, lifting her spirits and pushing her forward.

When Minnie finds out that the drama department at Mouston Central is going to put on a production of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, she is desperate to audition. And it's not just because she's a big fan of the arts. Minnie has a huge crush on Paul Poser, the dreamy guy who stars in every school play. Paul is a shoo-in for the role of Romeo, and if Minnie wins the role of Juliet, she'll get to kiss Paul onstage! But then in a "comedy of errors," Daisy gets the part instead, and their friendship becomes quite the "tempest." Can Minnie get over her jealousy and support Daisy's newfound talent? Will Daisy realize that she's stolen the spotlight from her best friend?

You know the classroom at the end of the hall? The one with the tall teacher? And the Pain-In-The-Neck who likes to write his name on the blackboard in snot? Yeah, well, weird stuff has been going on down the hall . . . . First of all, when Roger was cleaning the erasers, out billowed a huge cloud of chalk dust--and a chalk dust genie! And when the genie granted the Roger's wish to be the teacher of the class, Roger got more than he bargained for. Namely, he got himself--Roger--disturbing the class and making everyone, even himself, miserable. And Kenneth--that kid who hates reading? Well, he found a book that can tell his future. But he has to read it to find out what's going to happen. . . . Not to mention what happened to Rosalie, who always copies answers off of other kids' papers. Something was bugging her. A doodlebug. It just crawled into her ear and started telling her the answers to all of her schoolwork. It looked like she was never going to have to cheat again, until Mr. Leeks exterminated the classroom at the end of the hall. Then Rosalie was on her own . . . . The nine laugh-out-loud funny tales in this zany collection teach valuable lessons about teaching, learning, and life in a third-grade classroom.
