Teacher's Pet:
Mrs. Snavin looked
right past all those waving hands. She looked right at me and she smiled and
said, "I think I'll have Jake take it." Then Mrs. Snavin
said, "but be sure to hurry right back, Jake, because we're going to work
on our number-line project, you have to be my special computer
helper, okay?" And I could feel every kid in the and
class looking at me. They weren't saying anything. They weren't even
whispering. But right then, I heard what they were thinking anyway. They were
thinking, teacher's pet.
Class Clown:
Knock, knock. Who's there? Jake. Jake who? Jake
Drake, Class Clown.
Miss Bruce is the new student teacher in second
grade, and she never smiles. Never. But when Jake
cracks up the class during a spelling bee, he sees the tiniest hint of a smile
at the corner of her mouth. Suddenly, Jake has a new mission in life: to be so
funny that even Miss Bruce will laugh! But then things get out of hand,
and Jake finds himself in big trouble. Has Jake discovered -- too late -- that
not everybody loves a clown?
Bully Buster
When Jake was three years old at Miss Lulu's
Dainty Diaper Day Care Center, what did he know about bullies? Nothing. But he learned fast! Why? Because Jake was kind of
smart and not a tattletale, and he had no big brother to protect him. He was a
perfect bully magnet.
But everything changed the year Jake was in
second grade. That's when SuperBully Link Baxter
moved to town. Jake had his hands full just trying to survive, until class
project time. Who did the teacher assign to be Link's partner? You guessed
it. Jake has to use all his smarts -- and his heart as well -- to turn
himself from Jake Drake, Bully Magnet, to Jake Drake, Bully Buster.
Know-It-All
Jake Drake is excited about
The trouble is, to beat the know-it-alls, Jake has to become a know-it-all himself. And he may
just lose more than he wins.
