Watch out, Junie B., there's a new kid on the block! It's Freddy
Thresher, a 1st grader who knows it's a jungle out there. Here's the
fourth in a new series by an elementary teacher who's seen it all.
"I have a problem. A really, really, big problem. I want to try out for
the peewee hockey team, but so does Max . . ." Bullies are a problem in
school, and Max Sellars is the worst one yet. In addition to hassling
Freddy, Max also challenges him for the open spot on the peewee hockey
team. Freddy's close friend Jessie is a star hockey player, and she
secretly teaches him some rules and tricks. In a warm and funny ending,
Max and Freddy make peace with one another, and--in a surprising
twist--end up becoming teammates.
