Illustrated by
William Clarke.
This antic tour of an Australian sixth grade is fully guided and liberally illustrated by narrator and budding writer Mark. He and his friends have taken in newcomer Jonah, who's fearless in facing down bullies and the teacher terror. At the school's summer camp, they learn about wombats, wattle-and-daub building, and the degrees to which one sturdy kid and one troubled teacher can drive each other crazy. The book has a contagious humor that translates well.
