Every child about to enter middle school will be able to relate to this
heart-warming, funny story. Anthony Pantaloni needs to figure out one
thing he does well--one thing that will replace the Antsy Pants nickname
he got tagged with on the first day of fifth grade, one good thing he
can "own" before moving up to middle school next year. It seems that
every kid at Carpenter Elementary has a claim to fame: Marcus is Mr.
Athletic, Alexis is Smart Aleck, Bethany has her horse obsession, and
even Cory is known as the toughest kid in the school. Ant tries lots of
things, but nothing sticks! It doesn't help that there are obstacles
along the way--a baton-twirling teacher, an annoying cousin, and Dad's
new girlfriend, to name a few. Just One Thing! is chock full of
hilarious adventures that will keep young readers cheering until the
very end. For ages 8-12.
