When the coolest kid in the class drops by David's house after school,
David is worried about how popular, zany Ruben Plotnick will react upon
meeting unpredictable Grandma Rosie. Will he make fun of her to his
classmates? Will he imitate her whispery voice? What will he do if
Grandma Rosie suddenly wants to dance? To his surprise, and relief,
David learns that although Ruben may be a joker, he has an instant
rapport with Grandma Rosie and accepts her odd behavior. In fact, when
Grandma Rosie calls out, "Nate, let's waltz!" Ruben gallantly and
proudly dances around the kitchen with her. This heartwarming story of
senility and school-age embarrassment reveals the importance of looking
beneath the surface to really get to know someone. By accepting Grandma
with all of her quirks, Ruben shows that he has a warm heart and can be
a true friend.
