For Richard, this September means being left back in 2nd grade, being teased by his old classmates, while stuck facing the same teacher, in the same old classroom. He can't seem to help getting into trouble, until Mrs. Paris, the reading teacher, helps him get interested in reading, and motivated to help the second grade win the school banner contest for the best class. This is book 1 of The Kids of Polk Street School series.
