My Name is ~~Brain~~ Brian

Read All About It!

Eleven year-old Brian is not looking forward to school. He will be in the sixth grade. His family thinks he is lazy. His friends think that Brian does some really funny things like writing his name on the blackboard as Brain instead of Brian. Brian knows he's not lazy, but he's tired of feeling stupid, working to learn things, to get words right and still never even knowing that he's gotten them wrong. And, to really shake things up, Brian and his friends discover that they are to have a new teacher this year! Read this book to find out how the new teacher helps Brian to learn. Also, find out what the Joker's Club is up to. Brian and his friends start up Operation J.D.B.R. (A Joke a Day Brings Relief). Who wins the money pot? And finally, what animal does Brian do his final report on for his class project and write a poem about?
