K-3All Aboard Reading series.
Illustrated by
Stacy Peterson.
Annie is dreading second grade: not only are her two best friends in another class, but the new second-grade teacher's name is Ms. Toady, and rumor has it that she's as unpleasant as her name. The premise is slight and the happy ending predictable, but the prose is swift and clean, and the flat illustrations of a hip, enviably well-dressed cast will lure emerging readers.
